Americans for Tax Fairness: In 2022 America’s 10.9 million undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in taxes. That included $19.5 billion in federal income taxes and $32.3 billion in federal payroll taxes. On a state and local level, undocumented immigrants contribute $37.3 billion in taxes, and in 40 of 50 states, they pay a higher effective state/local tax rate than the top 1% of households. The top 1% of highest-income households paid an average effective state/local tax of 7.2% in 2023, while the average undocumented immigrant paid a 10.1% effective tax rate to state/local governments.
