Best Answer

The rough answer is: The U.S. collects roughly 903 billion in income tax, annually.

The population is roughly 307 million.

If we count everyone, including those we do not tax, the annual average is $2900.

No allowance is made, here, for fluxuating rates and population. This is only a rough average.
