IRS: New York Lost Most Tax Paying Residents In 2013

More taxpaying residents left New York than any other state in the nation, IRS migration data from 2013 shows. During that year, around 115,000 New Yorkers left the state and packed up $5.65 billion in adjusted gross income (AGI) as well.

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) notes, “This new data shows that New York will remain America’s ‘Biggest Loser,’ having lost nearly 1.6 million taxpayers between 1985 and 2013. Those residents took with them more than $80.8 billion in annual AGI.”

“The phenomenal failure of New York to retain taxpayers and businesses is directly related to its uncompetitive tax and business climates. By some measures, New Yorkers face the greatest tax burden of any state in the nation.”

That's why they are spending millions on TV commercials to try and get new businesses to come to NY. Md. won't be far behind.

Most are moving to Florida or NC where the taxes are cheaper. That is why you see those state gradually turning blue. Same thing is going on in California. They are moving to Texas. Funny they vote in the idiots that raise their taxes.....then they move because of the taxes and vote it the same type of people in the new state as they had before.

Upstate New York citizens have been sending too much of their hard earned cash to New York City for generations, which is the state's cross to bear. Taxes in New York State are ridiculous.

Lose your smaller taxpayer base by pandering to the votes of the larger entitlement class, and watch the city wither and sink as it darkens.
