If you were ever curious where your personal tax dollars are spent, visit Where did my tax dollars go?
The tool asks you to put in your income and how you filed. Once it completes its fancy-shmancy calculations, you will see the general breakdown of your income taxes (social security, medicare, total taxes, and effective tax rate). The tool also allows you to explore a pie chart showing minutiae like how much of your money goes to NASA. (I sent the space program a whopping $7.)
Warning: May be addictive to those who are tax preparing procrastinators.
*Due to Emancipation Day in Washington DC, 2010 taxes are due on Monday, April 18th. Remember to file!
