Tax Freedom Day is the day when Americans finally have earned enough money to pay off their total tax bill for the year. In 2009, Georgia taxpayers had to work until April 12 to pay their total tax bill, ranking them 17th nationally. That's four days later than national Tax Freedom Day (April 13). The Tax Freedom Days of neighboring states are: Tennessee, April 5 (ranked 36th nationally); Alabama, April 2 (ranked 44th nationally); Florida, April 9 (ranked 27th nationally); South Carolina, April 4 (ranked 38th nationally); and North Carolina, April 9 (ranked 25th nationally).
