When is Your Tax Freedom Day?

"Tax Freedom Day is the day when the nation as a whole has earned enough money to pay its total tax bill for year," writes the Tax Foundation, which does the calculations each year.

In 2014, Americans will pay $3.0 trillion in federal taxes and $1.5 trillion in state taxes, for a total tax bill of $4.5 trillion, or 30.2 percent of income.
