Now that you've made it through Tax Day, here's a sobering fact to keep in mind: Residents of New Jersey pay the fifth-most federal taxes among the 50 states. The average American adult pays $6,151 per year in federal taxes, but filers here in New Jersey pay $8,835.
The average income per capita in the Garden State is $53,534, which means that the average adult has a tax liability of 16.5 percent. It's slightly worse in New York, where the average adult pays $8,850, for an average tax liability of 17.4 percent.
But that's not the worst in the nation. That distinction belongs to the state of Connecticut, with an average payment of $10,861 and an average tax liability of 18 percent.
