(AP) - Americans are preparing to meet the Tuesday deadline for filing their federal income tax returns.
Data from the IRS and the Census Bureau show that three states - Delaware, Minnesota and Massachusetts - on average paid the most per person in federal income, payroll and estate taxes in 2016.
The three states that paid the least per person are New Mexico, Mississippi and, at No. 50, West Virginia.
