Tax time can be fun if you're getting a sweet return back. On the other hand, if you have to pay Uncle Sam, probably not your favorite time of year. The good news is that Idaho ranks as one of the best states for taxpayers. Hurrah for us!

Wallet Hub ranked all the states by a number of criteria and Idaho came in at #7 averaging less than 21% below the national average.

What does all this mean? Well, for starters, we in Idaho are way better off than Illinois. Oh, and our neighbors in Nevada are doing pretty well also as they're ranked at #5. Remember that next time you lose your shirt with the one-armed bandit in Jackpot.
