Federal taxes are due on May 17, 2021. The Internal Revenue Service extended the deadline as part of its response to the coronavirus pandemic, both to give Americans more time to file their paperwork and the agency a chance to process all those stimulus checks .
As many as 35 states updated their tax deadline accordingly, so many Americans can now benefit from extra time. In a survey by exchange services company IPX 1031 of 1,000 consumers, one-third (33%) admitted to waiting until the last minute to do their taxes, and another third (32%) weren't aware that the deadline had been extended.
States With the Highest Property Taxes
In some states, homes are cheap, property tax rates are less than half of 1% and the average property tax payment is just a few hundred bucks per year. In the most expensive states, however, rates soar over 2%, homes are pricey and average annual property tax bills routinely creep above $5,000 and beyond.
Using data from the Tax Foundation, GOBankingRates ranked the states with the highest property taxes in America, including the percentage rate, the average dollar amount paid and the average home value. The results are listed in ascending order from least expensive to most. For context, the national average effective property tax is 1.06%, the U.S. average home value is $263,351 and the average annual property tax bill is $2,787.

Slash taxes and they will come is not surefire solution | Letterstoeditor | wvnews.com
Thank goodness the current Legislature did not pass a hastily considered law to change our tax structure. Under the guise of attracting more businesses to the state and stopping the outflow of people, many of the proposed plans would have numerous unintended consequences.
Businesses and people not only look at income tax but the entire tax structure when considering a location. But that is only a small part of their consideration.
Infrastructure such as high- speed internet and access to good roads and airports is another major factor. There are other considerations, but there was no evidence presented to the voters that these were studied in depth.

Whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden is president, federal spending keeps climbing. But raising the money to pay for it has been lacking. Even worse, under Trump spending increased and taxes were cut .
Skelton: California Democrats should make gutsy move on taxes
Some U.S. House Democrats from New York and New Jersey are threatening a gutsy move that their California colleagues should consider.
The threat: refusing to vote for President Biden's signature infrastructure package and the higher taxes to pay for it unless state and local tax breaks are fully restored.
Good for the handful of Northeastern Congress members. California Democrats should show the same courage on an issue that has cost millions of their constituents billions of tax dollars.
4 Ways to Keep Your Taxes Down If You Are Self-Employed | Kiplinger

One of the best ways to lower your taxes paid on self-employed income is to increase your business expenses. As a self-employed taxpayer, you can write off expenses and take certain deductions against that income to help reduce your tax liability.
New Yorkers Face Steep State Taxes on Unemployment Benefits
Taxes are due in a month, but what does this mean for New Yorkers who were unemployed last year due to the pandemic?
When the federal government passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 in March, Congress included an exemption so at least a portion of unemployment benefits from 2020 will not be federally taxed.
People whose adjusted gross income was less than $150,000 can exclude up to $10,200 of unemployment benefits from taxes in 2020.
How working in different states due to Covid could impact your taxes
With the end of tax-filing season swiftly approaching, people who worked in multiple states last year due to Covid may be wondering — where do I owe taxes?
Between March 2020 and October 2020, nearly 9 million Americans relocated, according to research from the National Association of Realtors. As many as 42% of Americans worked remotely in 2020, and 71% were not aware that working remotely in other states could impact taxes owed, according to a November survey from the American Institute of CPAs conducted by the Harris Poll.
Biden plans may not ensure Fortune 500 firms pay income taxes, experts say - The Washington Post
Faced with criticism over their proposed tax hikes, senior Biden administration officials have in recent days pointed to large American corporations that are paying no federal income taxes.
Earlier this month, White House press secretary Jen Psaki cited a think-tank report showing 55 companies in the Fortune 500 had paid $0 in U.S. corporate taxes in 2020. That study has also been repeatedly cited by the president himself and by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who called the lack of payment by dozens of megafirms "unacceptable."
