A report released by the conservative-leaning Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance claims Wisconsin residents spent 3.3 percent of their personal income on income tax in 2007.
The report relies on data released last month by the U.S. Census Bureau and ranks Wisconsin 10th highest nationally among state income taxes.
According to the WTA, Wisconsin's reliance on income tax compared to other taxes is also higher than most states.
Additionally, income taxes in Wisconsin average $1,137 per person, the 13th highest nationally.
