State tax filing

Very often income is taxed more than once. 

The premise is that a state can't tax you twice on the same income, but you can be taxed twice, once by the Federal Government and again by the state, or even more than twice if there are multiple states involved. 

Double taxation also occurs when income for a corporation is tax, and then the individual that receives a dividend from that corporation is taxed on that income a second time.
