New Jersey residents pay $987,117 in lifetime taxes, the analysis found, the highest tab in the nation.
The lowest-tax state is West Virginia, with a lifetime cost of $358,407.
The lifetime tax figure, $524,625, works out to about one-third of the average American's lifetime earnings, which add up to roughly $1.5 million.
New Jersey, the state with the highest taxes in the Self Financial report, lost the most residents to other states in 2023
Mailed my taxes today

Averages seem like a bad measure here, given that almost half (maybe more) people pay zero federal or state income tax.

Best advice I was ever given by a high net worth individual. Find a darn good CPA and pay them whatever they ask! He was right lol

Wife and I paid $103k in 2023 to feds. Mailed them the little I still owed for 2023 today, along with first qtr estimate for 2024.
Sorry, I was wrong. I owed $106k for 2023, but I had paid estimates of $103k.

Take out the people that don't pay anything and I bet we all pay over a $3 million in our lifetime.

Wait until the real bill comes in. We're 34 trillion in debt with trillions more in future promises.
My guess is it won't be paid back in tax form but in inflation or a combination of both.

The American taxpayer needs to start a revolution. It's ridiculous who poorly ran govt is at all levels, and how much money is simply wasted.

I think the government should be required to tell you exactly where your dollars go. None of this it goes into the pool bullshite. I want to know that I bought like 1 wheel for a hummer. Or maybe a helicopter blade, or something like that.

Think about this next time you see the government spend a million to study gay tree frogs.
Some poor sap (or two) is going to be paying taxes all of his life to fund it.
