I was just like "whatever... it's $60 I didn't have before," but there's still a part of me that was irked that I about half the settlement went for legal fees... |
The state of Georgia used to not tax state retiree's income tax on their retirement income. They did tax US Government retirees. The state managed to work a deal to keep from having to refund US Retirees for taxes paid by taxing state retirees. This still angers me.
