Unemployment funds the state pays unemployment benefits from comes from taxes or other means the state collects from the employerr. For income taxes the unemployed person must pay, it depends on the state which collects income taxes, if any, and the Federal government which excludes the first $2400 received in benefits, but as it is taxable, it is accumulated with all other income the person receives and the rate he pays depends on the income tax bracket he is in.
