California’s tax gulf with Arizona is hitting middle-class workers – and the numbers help explain why hundreds of thousands are heading east. Income taxes, payroll deductions, sales taxes, fuel costs and utility bills are all higher in California – and for many families, it’s enough to justify crossing state lines to Arizona. A single filer earning $80,000-a-year will typically pay more in state income taxes in California than in Arizona, underscoring what critics describe as a widening financial divide between the two states.
