More states cutting taxes for wealthy residents than raising them
At least 19 states since 2021 cut their individual income taxes in ways that disproportionately favored their wealthier residents, in some cases more than once. Only two states raised taxes on that demographic, with a handful more proposing this year to follow suit. (Click on a state to see its legislation.)
