Theres ways to itemize and reduce your liability

Once you figure in state taxes you get to keep 60 cents on the dollar.

Yup. My net pay's about 61% of my gross after federal & state taxes, social security, 401k contributions, social security tax, medicare tax, dental, medical and vision. Pretty fucking spectacular:

-- after pre-tax decuctions ( 401k, medical, .... ) -----
17% = federal tax (for wars and shit)
7% = social security (probably never see that again)
1.5% = medicare ( huh ? )
4% = colorado state tax ( roads and "ban Patchouli" awareness )

Oh well.... *shrug*

cool, thanks guys :)

Too much. I'd say after it's all said and done, I have 60% of what I made.

are you moving?

nope, just curious :)

Doesn't look all that hot compared to EURO (tho most of us do have higher taxes)

Guess we are due for a "How much are "taxes" in Paraguay" thread :p

talk with a licensed cpa.

do you deductions right and you'll have nothing to worry about

I recommend H and R block!! :thumbsup

If you work for yourself and are paying taxes as an individual (sole proprietor, LLC, etc), you'll look to pay around 33-40% based on what you make. I put away 40% of everything I make in an ING account for quarterly payments. That has always covered it plus I make some interest on it in the account.

In the US, it really is all about having a good accountant and owning a company to do itemized deductions.

If you live outside the US, well...lucky you.

word. :thumbsup

0 is you get paid by epass...
