Most Americans will owe less in taxes as a result of President Donald Trump’s overhaul of the U.S. tax code, but in a few jurisdictions, about one in 10 will be paying more, according to an analysis released Wednesday by the Tax Policy Center.
New Jersey topped the list of states with the highest percentage of taxpayers seeing a hike, at 10.2 percent. Maryland and the District of Columbia followed, at 9.4 percent, the report shows. In California, 8.6 percent of taxpayers will pay more and in New York 8.3 percent will have higher levies. North Dakota has the most winners from the new law, with 75.4 percent receiving a tax cut and less than 4 percent seeing an increase.
