The idea of cranking out yet another form after filing your income tax return sounds as soul-crushing as, oh, maybe clearing out all those boxes filled with who knows what from the basement.

One reason you might be looking at a much smaller tax refund – or owe far more money than you'd imagine – is that you didn't earmark enough cash out of each paycheck toward your taxes. If you need to change your withholding, you need to complete a new W-4 form.

Americans paid almost $64 billion less in federal income taxes during the first year under the Republican tax overhaul signed into law in late 2017 by President Donald Trump, with some of the sharpest drops clustered among taxpayers earning between $25,000 and $100,000 a year, even as the overall number of refunds dropped during a turbulent tax season.
Americans continue to vote with their feet towards low-tax states | TheHill
With the 2020 census just around the corner, elected officials and demographers eagerly await the results from this once in a decade process of counting the U.S. population. The new count will not affect electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election. But its implications for the 2022 congressional midterms, state political clout and future presidential elections are significant.
Before we get the official count from the 2020 census, the best clues we have come from the 2019 estimates released by the United States Census Bureau in its annual state-by-state population estimates. Beyond the political, the results tell us a great deal about the relative economic health of the 50 states. Americans continue to move, or "vote with their feet," toward states that have lower tax burdens and value economic competitiveness.
NJ taxes: Will they go up after error calculating school aid?
The Murphy administration used outdated tax information to calculate how the state gives crucial aid to public schools, which could lead local districts to cut staff or raise property taxes.
A leading education advocate warned the administration just days after Gov. Phil Murphy touted in his budget speech his commitment to funding public education that it made the "significant error" by using 2018 data to calculate school aid. But as of Tuesday afternoon, the administration gave no indication it planned to adjust its calculation by using the intended 2019 tax data.

Wisconsin court refuses to refund airlines' property taxes
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A Wisconsin appeals court has refused to refund $4.2 million two airlines paid in property taxes.
State law grants property tax exemptions for airlines that operate as so-called hub facilities. Southwest Airlines and Air Tran Airways merged in 2011 and argued that collectively they flew enough flights to meet the exemption.
The 1st District Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that the two airlines fell short of the minimum number of flights to qualify for the exemption.

Marin wildfire tax too close to call – Marin Independent Journal
Measure C, a parcel tax for wildfire prevention projects, was slightly leading but too close to call Tuesday night.
According to final election night results, 67.06% of voters approved the tax, but provisional and late mail-in ballots remained to be counted. The measure needs two-thirds, or 66.7%, voter approval to pass.
Measure C would levy an annual tax of 10 cents per building square foot on properties throughout most of Marin, with an exemption for low-income seniors. On average, property owners would be charged $210 per year and the tax could be increased by up to 3% annually.
Butler County auditor disperses $71M early taxes to taxing bodies
Butler County schools and jurisdictions experiencing cash flow issues or simply wanting a release of funds can get a portion of their property taxes early, and the Butler County Auditor’s Office released nearly $72 million for such requests in the past few weeks.
The office released early taxes to all 15 school districts in the county and nine other taxing bodies like cites and townships. Chief Deputy Auditor Dawn Mills said she routinely makes these cash advances so the entities can get a portion of their collected taxes four to six weeks early.
