Every year I fill out my Montana Income Tax Form and I get done and review the form and I check all the numbers and I notice I have not filled out the line that indicates what my taxes are. What line am I supposed to list my taxes on my income? Reading it over and over I finally end up thinking "this line that says Tax Liability might be it". That must be the line I list my taxes. Why is it listed as Tax Liability? How is 'Tax Liability" different from "Taxes"? Isn't that a little unnecessary, and worthless, to list the word "liability" after taxes?
I checked the surrounding states and the Federal 1040 tax form and none of them list Tax Liability as the place where one is to report their taxes. Wyoming and South Dakota apparently do not require one to pay state income taxes. Idaho tax form, line 20: "Tax from tables" (not "Tax Liability)".....N Dakota line 19 "Tax" (not Tax Liability)"......Federal form 1040: line 16 "Tax from tables". (not Tax Liability).....Why does Montana state income tax forms complicate the completing of tax forms by including the words "Tax Liability" instead of what these other examples use when listing where one is to list their taxes???
Is there some accounting genius in Montana, writing these tax forms who thinks everyone has a degree in accounting, and this genius accountant does not realize that Taxes and Tax Liability are the same thing and a waste of time and confusing to use the word liability after Taxes????
I tell my friends I paid so much in taxes this year, I don't tell them I paid so much in "Tax Liability" this year.
