Each year, as part of the Financial State of the States study, Truth in Accounting calculates each state's "taxpayer burden or surplus." The states are then ranked from 1 to 50, with number one having the greatest taxpayer surplus (or lowest taxpayer burden if no surpluses exist) and the number 50 having the greatest taxpayer burden.
