States where Americans pay more and less taxes

In the US federal system, each state government decides how to generate income, that is, what taxes to collect and how. No state tax code is similar to each other, mainly due to the fact that the average salary of residents varies from state to state.

Magazine Wall Street reviewed the tax burden of residents in each state. This tax burden does not include federal taxes paid by all Americans, regardless of state.

Approximately 78% of taxes paid by Americans go to the treasury of their own state and local governments.
