To identify the best states to be taxed in, according to a taxpayer’s income group, WalletHub generated estimates of the state-specific tax burden on residents at three income levels — low ($25,000), medium ($50,000) and high ($150,000) — in each of the states, plus the District. Data was taken from the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy’s 2015 report, which published estimates of tax burdens at seven points in state-specific income distribution.
