How Would the Fiscal Cliff Affect Typical
Families Across the Country?

By
Nick Kasprak
Recently, we released an analysis
looking at the potential total tax
increase on the median four-
person family in each state.1 We
found that higher income and
lower states tended to be affected
more than middle income
states-higher income states
from AMT changes and lower
income states from the Bush tax
cuts. Sufficient data exists for us
to repeat this analysis based on
Census MSAs (metropolitan
statistical areas) using the IRS's
income tax by ZIP code
information2
We used this data to estimate
itemized deductions as a
percentage of household income
for all income groups in each
