The Kiplinger organization has been around for several decades, at least, and is an organization that deals in financial analysis. Today, I ran across a news story dealing with a new (October 2010) report from Kiplinger about states that were friendly to retirees. This information is valuable to NON retirees as well because it deals with varied taxes imposed by each state.
There is a lot of information at the link below, with graphics for the best and the worst, but also a more detailed report for each state by choosing that state in the "pull-down" field listed as states.
For those that feel they have to read it all.....
.....I'm sorry for this.
Happy reading.
Terry
