What state has a ~20% effective tax rate? I don't see any marginal tax rates that even come close: http://taxes.about.com/od/statetaxes/a/highest-state-income-...

I'm obviously estimating, but when I look at which is more likely, someone misunderstanding tax brackets, or someone paying an insane amount of property tax in a state that doesn't exist, the first choice seems more likely.

I didn't say or even imply any did. I said "minor nitpick."

I said "I still don't know how much the parent pays in taxes."

The GP might be counting all their payroll deductions as kinda a "tax" depending on how you look at it. It doesn't matter, I just pointed out you didn't include state taxes.
