∙ 12y agoNo. The Supreme Court held that states cannot tax the federal government or an instrument of the federal government (like the Second National Bank, in Baltimore, Maryland) in McCulloch v. Maryland, (1819).
In his opinion for McCulloch, Chief Justice John Marshall declared Maryland's legislation taxing any bank not chartered by the state unconstitutional under the Supremacy Clause. Marshall stated that the state's power to tax was the "power to destroy" competition by taxing it out of existence, and was being used unconstitutionally against the federal government.

These states have their own governments that have jurisdiction over local matters within their boundaries. (The United States also has several territories not located within states that do not have all of the rights of states, but do have their own governments. Examples are the District of Columbia where the federal capital is located, Puerto Rico, and Guam.) A tax imposed by action of the federal government is called a federal tax.
