Residents of Connecticut pay the highest federal, state and local taxes in the country â some $7,150 on average per person in 2013, according to the latest data from the Tax Foundation. (That's likely because the state also had the highest per-capita income at $60,658.). Your tax burden also comes in many different forms, depending on your state's tax structure. In Oregon, for example, nearly 40% of the state revenues come from individual income taxes. Six states (Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming) collect no income tax.

States ranked for the lowest tax burdens are Delaware, Alaska, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
