taxes

Getting our property tax bill twice a year stings, but Montana isn't even in the top ten when it comes to expensive tax bills.

May 15th is frost-free day in Montana, the day when it should be safe for your garden, and the 15th is also around the time we reach Tax-free day. That means every penny you have made so far this year will go to pay your taxes.

Take advantage of it now: taxes, painting, car maintenance, cleaning the house, yard work, etc. You have some extra time on your hands so make the most of it.

So, I got my property tax BILL last week. Make no mistake, it is a bill and not a statement. I see that the price to live where I've lived for 15 years is going up. Again.

The Governor just signed a bill that will exempt business equipment taxes on hemp producers. Why are they getting a special break?

There will never come a day when you're happy with everything your tax dollars support. There will always be something that is at odds with your religion, your morals, or your common sense. I was doing some quick searches to see what kind of things us workin' class Americans have supported…

First of all, I want to thank all of you who sent cards to Jordan Thompson because of my blog yesterday.
Now, more "Not another cent". I got my renewal notice for my car's plates. I opted out of the six dollar fee for state parks. And it gave me the idea that i wish we had hund…

The president is pushing forth his plan to overhaul the IRS.  Good, it's too complicated with too many loopholes.  Just think, if Mark Zuckerberg  would have been paying the same tax as you and I, he could have paid for the entire Hurricane Harvey relief bill...

Tax Freedom Day was May 7th this year.  That means every nickel you earned so far this year has gone for taxes.  Do they teach that in school?  Do kids know that they will work a third of their life just to pay taxes?
Americans pay 5...

The best thing about tax time for me is the free pen I get from my accountant.  The ink is that really bright blue that doesn't run or spot.  It has a real fine line that I really like too.  In fact it's the only thing I like about tax season...
