Also a FreeTaxUsa user, and it walks you through just like TurboTax does. When searching for your name on the Newtown Property Tax list, make sure to do it several ways...when I looked for my son's payment, I tried first as suggested using last name and first initial - nothing there. Tried using last name and first name, nothing came up. Tried using all caps and BINGO! there it was. FWIW, it's worthwhile getting that motor vehicle tax receipt, because it caused him to get a $314 refund from the state instead of just $14.

Costco. Stew's are small and always look like they've been sitting all day.

Sorry that I'm not answering your question exactly, but roasting a chicken is so easy and a billion times better than the crap you get in a store. It's cheap too. Get a cast iron pan.

Step 1

Put a cast-iron skillet on a low rack in the oven and heat the oven to 500 degrees. Rub the chicken all over with the oil and sprinkle it generously with salt and pepper.

Step 2

When the oven and skillet are hot, carefully put the chicken in the skillet, breast side up. Roast for 15 minutes, then turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees. Continue to roast until the bird is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the meaty part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees.

Step 3

Tip the pan to let the juices flow from the chicken’s cavity into the pan. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Carve and serve.

BOOOM.

Says no record is found when I search my name, did they just not file it into the database?? Or is there an issue that I’d need to resolve in person? Also, since I just rent an apartment, would I still pay property tax?

Edit: I looked up my name on the Danbury site too to see if maybe there was a mistake and I’m somehow still recognized as a Danbury resident, shows all the previous taxes paid, but says nothing is due on my end. Weird 😕

Thank you :) didn’t know that turbo tax will guide me through these things, that’ll make it all a lot easier. Besides that car tax, is there anything else I should receive in the mail from the town? Or the state?

If it’s only been one year, as long as you don’t have a luxury car it will most likely only be a few hundred $

Whole heartedly agree with that order of rating.

thanks, hope it was helpful.

Your W2, 1099, and 5498 are all part of your income tax, which you would file federally and with the state. You can use a tax software to help with this, I like FreeTaxUSA but there’s many options.

For the car, your car tax and property tax are the same thing since Connecticut considers motor vehicles subject to local property taxes. You can just pay these online (you can search for yourself in Newtown’s database here )

Didn’t realize it was supposed to be paid to the town, wish someone told me this stuff before I moved out of Danbury. But how would it be several grand?? I thought the tax was only determined by the value of your car and where it’s registered? Genuine question. I’ve only been here less than a year so I didn’t think anything could rack up that much.

The tail of that dog got way too excited

Get TurboTax. It’s wonderful and walks you through step by step. Car tax is paid separately through the town. You should get a letter in the mail. You can go to the town clerk office in town hall to discuss if you haven’t got a letter for car tax.

Google if all those dumb tax prep shops have to do it for free based on income.

Since they all lobby the hell out of govt, intentionally making it more difficult then has to be, I believe they owe folks free tax prep if qualify.

Costco, Big Y, Bjs/Sam's, Boston Market, Everything else, Hospital cafeterias, Stop and shop

In that order.

Sick bank? Can she use donated sick days?

Rooster Co in Newington

Thank you! I will look into trying it!

Eh I understand where you are coming from but I disagree I moved from south Florida and there's a couple of places down there that will make you re think this philosophy

Even if there are, I would have trouble eating there without thinking, “BJs is just as good and I’d have gotten the whole bird for $5.99. This is a rip off.”

Haven’t been since before covid but rooster co in newington specializes in rotisserie chicken.

Man. More love for BJs. I guess I’ll have to make the trek.

Ha! My dad is going to be so excited that someone agreed with him. 🙏

Thanks for the confirmation. I have worked at small business and they had STD insurance. Can't believe that the teachers union is so weak

Car tax is paid to the town. You better pay it. It’s probably several grand now. Go to the town hall and pay the tax.

Sams Club is very good, same price as Costco. I grab 1 or 2 every time I visit
