Reply to comment by [deleted] in Owing taxes? by duckduckgoose129

I found it! The total tax on TurboTax is 5535. The total on freetaxusa is 2767. Big discrepancy. I've always used TT and always owed a lot so I didn't expect to run into something like this

Reply to comment by Creative-Teddy in What's the deal with the front license plate requirement? by beowolf66

You have it backwards, they won’t ticket you for the plate but they will use it as justification to pull you over in the first place and try to find some other reason once you’re stopped (mainly to check for drinking or drugs)

I used to work for a local PD and that’s what they did all the time to justify pulling over someone who “looks suspicious”

Reply to Living wage calculation for New Haven County by paulthebackpacker

I used this when I moved to Connecticut in 2018. I found it to be spot on for those categories at least for me. I don’t know if it has been updated lately, as things are more expensive now.

Of course, it works if you understand that this only includes those categories that are necessary just to survive.

You won’t be comfortable and you won’t have disposable income if you only earn that, but you’ll “survive”.
