If you only make $40k and are paying 30% in taxes, you're doing something very wrong.

You are right. It was quite an exaggeration on my part. Its more like 21.5%.

I've payed less than that in income tax on income much greater than that. Legally, that is. According to H&R's calculator, you should be paying under $5k, and thats with no dependents or other similar deductions.
