I am apparently poor....
AGI: 155K
Fed: 18.k:
State (VA): 6.7K
Deductions were 36K; 22 K from housing (mort. & property tax), 6.7K from state, and 5K charity.
Next year, AGI will be 10K+ lower.

AGI: 896K
Feds: 286K (including self-employment taxes for one person)
State: not meaningful because we moved in the middle of the year so we owe part-year taxes in two states, plus all the other states the self-employed person owes in. My taxes would be a lot simpler if it were just me and my W-2!

You are the hero for the welfare!
But, 32.6% of 1.125M is only 365K, why yours is 425K?

I don't know if I should include house-purchase or not, say 1M house with $300K property tax? We are paying $14000 property tax per year, so in 20 years, close to that amount, then start over again.
I would rather everyone pay a simple flat tax with no deductions and treat all income equally (salary, dividends, capital gains, etc.)

I like the idea of treating all income equally and not having any deductions! However, I would still keep the progressive tax rate (maybe just 2 or 3 brackets). It really doesn't seem fair to charge someone making $50k with the same percentage as someone making $500k.
Our HHI last year was $470k and we paid $107k in fed tax so (almost 23% effective rate) and $22k Va tax.

How come is your federal tax so low? A lot of deductions?
Did you reach AMT?
Roughly $17k in mortgage interest, $6k of charitable donations, max two 401ks, daycare spending account, property tax of roughly $6k, capital loss carry forward up to the limit. I think our AGI was just shy of $150. Our effective tax rate was roughly 12.3%, which I think it fairly standard for the under $200k set. Next year it will be more as we will just break over $200k and will likely get hit with the AMT this time.
Ah, I'm the PP who asked the ?; I missed this. Thanks!

HHI: ~400K
Fed tax paid: ~100K
Effective Rate: ~25%
We pretty much max out every deduction too, max out both 401Ks, max out HSA, daycare flex spending. We are hit by AMT, so the only deduction we really get is mortgage interest, but we refinanced to a much lower rate 15 year mortgage a few years back, so even the mortgage interest doesn't help us that much.
