State Of Virginia Tax Questions
State Of Virginia Tax Questions
Legislators go to work every day and just to have something to do, they create more and more laws. There are so many laws on the books, it is literally impossible for us to know them all. And I would be willing to bet that just about all of us have broken a law a time or two.
It wouldn’t be because we’re all criminals. It’s because there are laws that we have no idea are even there. The best laws are the ones that come from some weird activation or an era we no longer understand.
In Indiana, liquor stores are not allowed to sell milk. I’m not sure why when White Russians are a great drink that is made with milk. But, they might have outlawed milk to keep all the infants from hanging around.
In Ohio, it’s illegal to get a fish drunk. Now, that has to be one of those laws that was made because of one idiot who thought it would be cool to get a fish drunk. I mean, I can’t imagine it becoming such an epidemic that everyone was doing it and the fish were developing major family issues.
In Pennsylvania, beer can’t be sold in quantities less than a case. Good news for the liquor stores. That’s bad news for anyone who just wants a six pack. In other words, it’s illegal to be a lightweight.
In Maryland, the western counties prohibit the sale of beer on Sundays. If you want to drink a few beers while watching football, you have to stock up the night before. Of course, you can always drive across the state line into West Virginia to buy some beer if you drink your stock. There are even signs welcoming all Marylanders and thanking the governor of Maryland for helping the economy in West Virginia on Sunday when half of Maryland drives over there.
In Florida, men may not be seen in public in a strapless gown. I included this law because I’m thinking the lawmakers were drinking the day they made it. But, it begs the question. What was happening in Florida that was so important that the lawmakers left the issue wide open for men to be seen in public in regular gowns?
Sometimes you hear about a law and you wonder what happened to bring that law into existence. I mean, did a fish swim across the lane and kill an entire family? Did it develop psoriasis of the liver and sue a beer maker for not displaying a warning on the side of the bottle? The one thing for sure is that at least one person did feed alcohol to a fish and that guy had way too much time on his hands.

Lotto Winnings (Power Ball)?
I saw in a news report today about how a group of women won the power ball. The report also stated the the state of West Virginia also won in the form of taxes since that was the state the women lived in. The report states that each person won about 12 million after taxes (about 17 million before taxes). That’s about 5 million in taxes each; in the form of income tax.
My question is; couldn’t the winners opt to pay the tax on the winnings ant the end of the tax season after they file their taxes for 2008? The interest in just the 5 million that was taken for taxes would pay for its self. And the winners would continue to benefit from the money other than just handing it over to the government.
<<
Laws vary between states, so I do not know about West Virginia, but the majority of that $5 million went to the Federal Government and they will not allow you to wait until the end of the year to pay.
