I'm curious about how many PRC users are scrutinizing the reported state income tax.
Are users comparing the PRC reported state tax (including local tax) for the current year (e.g. 2024) vs actual tax that would be owed (if your actual income parameters matched the income resulting in the PRC scenario)?
I've found PRC to have very accurate results for Federal taxes, but there may be some rather large errors in state taxes for PRC users in Maryland -- depending on whether your retired or not, or whether you are making withdrawals from a traditional IRA or a traditional 401k.
They are not correct for GA, where they exempt a large chunk of retirement income from state taxes. From age 62-64, they exempt the first $35k PER PERSON from taxation. Age 65 and up, they exempt the first $65k PER PERSON - so a couple where both are 65+ will have the first $130k exempted from state taxes. Retirement income includes pensions & annuities, interest & dividends, net income from rental property, capital gains, royalties, & up to $5k of earned income. All SS is fully exempt from taxation in GA. I have brought this to Charlie's attention. State taxation is more difficult for them to handle due to differences in 50 states and they are constantly changing.
Needless to say, the taxes reported by Pralana are much higher than reality. I will treat it as an extra margin of error until they fix it.
