@Jake: Yea, I didn’t think California was alone with this problem. At least Kansas fixed it.

@Do You Dave Ramsey?: I can imagine many states having to do it next year if they don’t make drastic changes to their budgets. Cash is king, as always.

Very insightful post. As we work through this tax season we should all examine our refunds and tweak our w-2s accordingly.

Without question CA is doing something unique but I promise other states will follow suite in future years.

But the truth is that YOUR cash in hand is always better than waiting for the governments to give it back.

Thanks for sharing.

Kansas was in the same situation, but we’ve already fixed it…
