This past week I got my taxes done - because I lived in three states last year, and other circumstances, I figured a professional was the best way to go. The bill wasn't so bad. California got nothing. Considering how badly they screwed up my vehicle title transfer, and rejected my unemployment claim, I kind of smiled at that.
The accountant almost apologized when she told me I owed money to South Carolina, where I'd lived for four months with my grandfather. "It's $12," she said.
But I kind of like it that I have to pay taxes there. It puts a final certification on the four months I spent with Granddad. They were some very good times in my life, giving me have plenty of memories of my grandfather. You can't put any price tag on such things, but I will definitely consider it money well spent.
