Founder of PaycheckLink, a free paycheck and take-home pay calculator covering all 50 US states plus international jurisdictions. I closely track federal (IRS Pub 15-T) and state tax law changes — including recent mid-2026 rate cuts in states like Georgia, Utah, and South Carolina — and can speak to how these changes actually affect real take-home pay for workers. I'm happy to provide specific, sourced figures for journalists: state-by-state take-home pay comparisons, the real dollar impact of a tax law change on a given salary, or breakdowns of how federal, state, and local taxes stack on a paycheck. All figures are cross-checked against official sources like the IRS, state Departments of Revenue, and state tax commissions — not just secondary aggregators.
