Since I live in Texas and we have no income tax, I don't know how this works.  



Anyway, for those people whose state has an income tax, my question to you is, does your state allow you to pay your income tax at one single time during the year where you can just go down to their office and write a check, or do they force withholding from your paycheck just like the IRS does?

Pay at end of year in one bill. It's not bad at all either, and I live in WI, a high tax one. I don't mind it, you can go 30 feet without hitting a bike trail or some huge, big ass park system/public land.

Mine is withheld. No idea if I can just save it myself and cut a single check. I'd guess there'd be a penalty for it, if I did.

F-ing state losers spend more than they bring in, and think the only answer is MOAR taxes....

Withheld every pay period.  File at the end of the year, just as one does with federal.  

What's sales tax right now in Texas?

The .gov always gets theirs, whether it be property taxes or vehicle taxes or income taxes or sales taxes and the list goes on.  For instance, in North Carolina I had a vehicle property tax that was pretty hefty but my vehicle registration was only $28.  Now in Iowa I pay no vehicle tax, but my registration fee is higher than my old NC tax was

Yeah.  Are they set up like us?  Every time the public schools racket decides they need more for their coffers, do they pass tax levees in the name of saving the children?

TX property tax depends on where you live in the state, and the value of your home.  

I've seen between 2.5% and 4% of home value, most close to 4% if you live in a large city.  

It f-ing hurts just like income tax.

I've been debating downsizing my home and moving out of the area I am in just to get it down.

8.25%



Incorrect.



The state sales tax is 6.25%.   Cities then have the option to tack on up to 2% extra; not all cities levy the maximum.  

One example is if you buy a vehicle at a dealer, the sales tax is 6.25%.





As for everyone wondering about property taxes, these vary widely just like anywhere else.  It's hard to provide a uniform comparison since urban property taxes are usually high while someone living in the boonies is typically low.  I cut a check for almost $5000 this year, but does that sound like a lot?  Too little?  Who the hell knows.  It depends on where I live, how large my lot and home are, how luxurious or mountain-man my furnishings are.  



I will say that in Texas, property taxes stay local.  In other words, there are some states that all property taxes go straight the state who then cuts the various cities and schools their checks.  My property taxes go straight to the city, school, etc.

Oklahoma withholds it and I don't know where it goes... State is one big giant pothole with a lazy public works system.

sales tax is as high as any other local. Property tax also high..., so go figure.

We have state and local income tax.

State is withheld.  Normally town tax is also withheld, however since I work out of state, they don't withhold town income tax.  I can pay the entire local tax on April 15th without penalty

Its withheld by default, but you can pay it all at once if you want.

 



The IRS doesn't exactly force withholding either.  Just max your deductions and you won't end up with much (if any) withheld.

Over here in Wyoming we have no state income tax, only 4% state sales tax with some counties adding 1% or 2%, and property tax is moderate I've seen chart and we are right about in the dead middle for property tax. So it isn't too bad of a place tax wise.

I doubt you get to deduct your total tax paid off your total federal tax, you just aren't taxed federally on the money you pay to the state.

I was ready to sell and move west of Austin about 40 miles when my agent told me the real estate tax - and told me the ranch I was planing on buying was just under $1400.

That was a bit less than my annual California tax so I had to ask a year ... nope, per month!
