Best Answer

The answer depends on what you meant by the "most" and "state residents".

All residents pay the same federal income taxes. The amount of federal tax you pay depends on your income and not the state you live in. State income taxes vary by state.

If you meant which state pays the most taxes then the answer is California. People in California collectively pay the most federal tax because of the state's large population.

If you meant which state pays the most per person, on average, the answer is Deleware. The total taxible income of people in Deleware is very high compaired to its population.

The District of Columbia actually pays the most per person, on average, but it is not a state.

Do us citizens pay federal taxes in Puerto Rico?

Puerto Rico is classified by the U.S. government as an independent taxation authority by mutual agreement with the U.S. Congress. A common misconception is that residents of Puerto Rico do not have to pay federal taxes. Residents of the island pay federal taxes (import/export taxes, federal commodity taxes, social security taxes, etc.) and some even pay federal income taxes (Puerto Rico residents who are federal employees, or who do business with the federal government, Puerto Rico-based corporations that intend to send funds to the U.S., etc). While most residents of the island do not pay federal income tax, they do pay federal payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare), as well as Puerto Rico income taxes. In addition, because the cutoff point for income taxation is lower than that of the IRS code, and because the per-capita income in Puerto Rico is much lower than the average per-capita income on the mainland, more Puerto Rico residents pay income taxes to the local taxation authority than if the IRS code were applied to the island. Puerto Rico residents are eligible for Social Security benefits upon retirement. Puerto Rico is excluded from Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Puerto Rico receives less than 15% of the Medicaid funding it would be allotted as a state."

Does free tax prep software handle both state and federal returns?

Most companies offer free tax preparation for federal tax filing only not state filing. You will most likely have to pay a fee for federal filing. I think is a good website to use to file for free federal taxes and at the end or towards the end they ask about state filing and at that time you can pay to file for state taxes.

Why pay state park fees when my taxes paid the Army Corps of Enginers to build the parks Also why do I have to pay more because I'm a non resident?

Usage fees are a easy way to generate revenues. You have already traveled to the park and are unlikely to turn around, instead of paying the fee. Likely, most individuals have already paid Federal and State taxes to help run the Park. Fees for non-residents is a more politically tenable solution to raising fund for extra operational costs. The truth of the matter is that local and State officials overlook the contributions non-residents make to the local economy through keeping local businesses running and most likely adding to State revenues to fund parks through local sales tax collections.

Are federal corporate income taxes deductible for state income taxes?

In general, states do not allow a deduction for federal income taxes as most states "piggyback" off of federal taxable income as the beginning of the state income tax calculation. However, the states of Alabama , Iowa , Louisiana , and Missouri have variations of state taxable income that allows for some potential deduction for federal income taxes. Each of these four states has its own unique methodology for the deduction and each place certain restrictions on the ability to take the deduction.

Can you file a state return but not federal?

In most states, yes. Since many states have a lower filing requirement than the federal government, this is not uncommon. Also, if you had state tax withheld but not federal tax but are otherwise below the filing threshold, you might want to do this. Note however that most states base their income taxes on your federal tax in some way, so you are probably going to have to fill out a federal tax form in order to calculate your state taxes even if you are not required to file it.
