what is your house assessed for and what was your real property rate?  what kind of car do you drive?

My guess is I'd pay $23K less in income tax in Virginia, but real estate and car taxes would be a total of $5K higher.   Still a big delta in Virginia.

I just reported on our income tax. For property tax, it's roughly 1% of assessed value so we pay $13k on a $1.3mln house, and we drive nice cars. We also have some complicated foreign tax situations, so I think our MD tax is higher than most people in the same income bracket. Our fed tax the same year was only $2,300 and the taxable was $400k.

http://www.marylandtaxes.com/ has the actual tax information.

As others have said, for most people the difference will not be sufficient to choose one place over the other just based on taxes. We could easily up and move to Florida or Texas (no state income tax) and save a bundle, but our deicsion to live where we do isn't based on taxes. It's about liking the location, commute, proximity to family, etc.[/quote]
