We’re paying more to pay taxes

Inflation is riding at just about 1.5 percent, at an annualized rate, as Marketplace’s Mitchell Hartman reported.

Buried just slightly deeper in the data, though was this: Inflation in the tax preparation and accounting fees category is up 5.1 percent.

So not only are we paying taxes this April 15, we’re paying more to pay them.
