Hi,
   can someone point me to a website where I can find state income
tax information for different states ? I had found one recently but
I am not able to locate it today. I tried all kinds of meta search
engines etc to no avail.
   In particular, whats the state income tax for California ? Is
it a fixed % or does that also depend on income ? What will it be
for a single porson with 69k per year salary ? If I live in
California (Bay Area) is there any other tax that will be taken
out from my salary apart from Federal, State, and Social Security ?
Is the Social security tax different for California than for other
states ?
   Is my 401(k) contribution exempt only from Federal tax?
Or is it exempt from state income tax also ?
   Lastly, apart from rent(or buying a house) and gasolene, what
else is significantly more expensive in the Bay Area ? For an 88
toyota camry (I plan to use it forever) in decent shape, how much car
registration fees and auto insurance do you think I will be paying ?

Thanks one and all.

PS: Please provide me a similar information for Seattle also, if you could.
Thanks.
