Tax Freedom Day is April 14 in Oklahoma
The national "Tax Freedom Day" will fall on April 26 this year, according to the Tax Foundation's annual calculation using the latest government data on income and taxes. The calculation compares the number of days Americans work to pay taxes to the number of days they work to support themselves. So it will take the average American working until April 26 just to make enough money to pay their taxes. In 2006, Americans will work 77 days to afford their federal taxes and 39 more days to afford state and local taxes. After that you may make enough to buy a tank of gas!
According to the findings, even after all the tax cuts that the federal government has passed recently, Americans will still spend more on taxes than they spend on food, clothing and housing combined. Go figure!
Now get out there and mail that tax return! Taxes are due today!
