Tax Contributions:
In 2022, undocumented immigrants paid an estimated $96.7 billion in federal, state, and local taxes.
This included:
$19.5 billion in federal income taxes
$32.3 billion in federal payroll taxes
$37.3 billion in state and local taxes
They contribute significantly to state and local revenues, with 40 states receiving a higher percentage of income in state and local taxes from undocumented immigrants than from the top 1% of households.
Six states, including California, Texas, and New York, each raised over $1 billion in tax revenue from undocumented immigrants in 2022.
Undocumented immigrants pay payroll taxes for programs like Social Security and Medicare, even though they are largely ineligible for these benefits.
