So now that you have who depends the most and who depends the least on federal $$$s let's see who pays the most and who pays the least on those federal taxes...(these are all per capita numbers) Which states pay the most federal taxes money-rates.com Top 10: Federal taxes paid by state Here are the ten states that pay the most in federal taxes per adult resident: Connecticut Adults in this state pay an average of $10,861 in federal taxes, making it the only state to pay over $10,000 a year. In some ways, it's a nice problem to have because they have the highest average income at $60,327. District of Columbia Since some of its most prominent residents are also responsible for spending the money, it seems only fitting that they should chip in for a healthy share of the cost. With an average federal tax bill of $10,625, this is the only area besides Connecticut where that figure tops $10,000. Massachusetts The average adult pays $9,503 in federal taxes in this wealthy state. New York Up to this point, the top three per capita tax bills went along with the top three average incomes. Not so here. New Yorkers earn a bit less than their New Jersey neighbors; but at $8,850, they pay a bit more in taxes. New Jersey Residents of New Jersey duck in just under New York with an average tax bill per adult of $8,835. California Californians pay the most federal taxes in total, but ranking tenth in per capita income drags its average tax bill per adult down to sixth at $7,424. Wyoming There are fewer than half a million adults in Wyoming, but they contribute an average of $7,393 to the federal coffers. Washington The average federal tax bill per adult in the state of Washington is $7,112. Illinois Another large and fairly wealthy state, residents of Illinois pay $7,005 in federal taxes per year. New Hampshire New Hampshire's small population ranked second for percent of adults filing, pushing the $6,977 tax bill per adult well over the national average. Bottom 10: Federal taxes paid by state The following states paid the lowest average federal taxes per adult resident: Mississippi At $3,024, Mississippi's lowest per capita federal tax bill is less than half the national average of $6,151. This is largely a function of having the lowest per capita income in the nation. West Virginia The low average tax per adult of $3,208 is largely a function of having the nation's second-lowest per capita income, but also West Virginia has the lowest tax filing rate of any state in the union. New Mexico The average federal taxes paid by residents of New Mexico is $3,600 per year. Arkansas Adults in this state actually earn a little less than those in New Mexico, but at $3,677 they have a higher tax bill because, on average, they pay a slightly higher federal income tax rate (possibly because of how deductions and other tax breaks are utilized). Kentucky Kentucky has a higher percent of adults filing than Arkansas and a slightly higher income per capita, which contribute to a higher average tax bill for residents of Kentucky at $3,715. Alabama Though Alabama ranked 24th in the nation for its adult population of 3.7 million, its residents pay a fairly low $3,749 annually for federal taxes. South Carolina Still well below the average federal tax bill, the $3,897 amount residents of South Carolina pay each year is just 12.47% of their annual incomes. Idaho Among the states with the lowest adult population and adults filing returns, Idaho's average federal tax paid is only $3,900 per year. Maine At $4,084 per year, the tax burden Maine's 1.07 million residents shoulder is edging closer to the national average. Louisiana Ranking 25th for adult population and total tax, the federal taxes paid by residents of Louisiana is still low at $4,332 per year.
