Today, Thursday, April 12, taxpayers in Alabama and Oklahoma get to celebrate. Taxpayers in those states have the earliest Tax Freedom Day in America. Tax Freedom Day is the day taxpayers finally stop working to pay off all their taxes and can start keeping earnings for themselves.
The news isn’t as good for Wisconsin. Wisconsin has to wait another 20 days before Tax Freedom Day arrives on May 2, the thirteenth –latest Tax Freedom Day in the United States, even later than the national average Tax Freedom Day of April 30.
The Tax Freedom Day report by the Tax Foundation in Washington D.C. is yet another glaring example of Wisconsin’s heavy tax burden.
