Dear Daytonian,
Don't like filling out state tax returns? Try doing it in our neighboring Hoosier state.
Back in 2016 I filled out very simple state tax returns for my stepson for both Ohio and Indiana. Being neighboring Midwest states, how different could they be? Night and day different. The Ohio return consisted of four pages, two each for the IT-1040 and the Schedule of Credits, and was straight-forward. The Indiana return totaled nine pages with two pages each for the IT-40PNR, Schedule A and Schedule H, single pages for Schedule D&E, Schedule CT-40PNR and Schedule F and had me triple-checking everything to make sure I didn't mess it up.
We even got dinged for a second stamp for proper postage. And a couple aspirins.

The Dayton Metropolitan area totals around 800,000 residents and being that large brings along most of the amenities of the larger cities, but without most of the hassles they live with daily. Combined with Midwest sensibilities, life here is easy, but if you're a Daytonian that doesn't get around much, you might not know how weird things can get out there. If you live elsewhere, you might not realize how comfortable and affordable life in Dayton is. That's the purpose of this weekly blog.
