Being that I o not know if you are speaking of income tax, consumer goods tax, etc. I will give a general overview of how much the IRS collects from taxpayers.
Each year, more than one hundred fifty million people in the United States pay direct taxes to the Federal Government. Additionally, everybody pays the government taxes on consumer goods. The total amount of tax money taken in by the United States government each year is almost two trillion dollars. Put another way, the Federal Government alone collects an average of more than $6,000 a year for every woman, man, and child in the United States (not including Social Security and other trust funds, state and local taxes, or user fees).
