Most tax revenue came from sales and gross receipts taxes ($21.4 billion) and income taxes ($14.9 billion).
The STC survey includes five broad tax categories and up to 25 subcategories. Data is gathered from all 50 state governments and all dependent state-level entities.
The Census Bureau sets the tax classifications among the survey categories and cautions they may differ from the classifications set by the state governments.
Below is a breakdown of how taxes were classified by the bureau and how much was collected.
