Dear Daytonian,
Way back in 1984, the federal government began taxing Social Security benefits, but did you know that thirteen states, not including Ohio thank goodness, also tax those benefits to varying degrees. The worst offenders are the eclectic combination of Minnesota, North Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia, which mirror the federal tax rules. Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Connecticut and Rhode Island have their own individual rules, all different of course.
I guess some states just want to tax you twice on the same money.

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.
