To plagiarize T.S. Eliot, April is the cruelest month. But not for the reasons the poet wrote. Rather, for all the taxes.
And there are bills in the Legislature to make taxes sting even worse.
By April 10, Californians must pay their local property taxes. Five
days later is the deadline for filing state and federal income tax
returns. Also, the state and the feds want any initial pre-tax payment
that’s required on current earnings.
So tax collectors get three swings at us this month.

In San Francisco’s land of $2 million fixer-uppers, the income needed to reach this status is obviously more. But how much more?
S.F.-based finance expert Sam Dogen pinned that number at $300,000, after surveying dozens of readers on his Financial Samurai blog and asking about their incomes and expenses living in the notoriously high-priced coastal cities.
