Illinois has been ranked as the state with the highest effective state and local tax rates in the United States, according to a recent study by Wallethub. The findings place Illinois at the bottom of the list in terms of overall tax rank.

The study highlights that Illinois residents face significant financial burdens due to these high taxes. "This trend cannot continue, and Illinois families need relief today," is a sentiment echoed by many affected by these rates.
