Which state residents pay the most federal taxes?

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.

It depends on which tax you are talking about. There may be city income taxes, state income taxes, and federal income taxes, plus a tax for Medicare and a tax for Social Security. The Medicare and Social Security taxes are always taken from any amount of income. City, State and Federal income taxes have different rules. You have to look up those rules. For instance, some full time students don't have to pay federal income tax. Most tax rules have rules about how much you can earn before you get taxed.
