Computer Center, Minneapolis Lines: 11 I was writing you for humor. The way it works is I get payed. This money I take home with me and give part of it to the land lord. The money I give him gets taxed first. That is taxed income. I have payed my taxes on that income. Then, after a year or so, the state of MN decides that I have been paying the property taxes on my apartment by paying rent. They decide to give me back the part of the rent that went to property taxes. I have payed taxes on this money already. It is just that the state was playing bank for a while (I think I should get interest on the money). The federal goverment isn't going to convince me to pay taxes on that income again.
