Our output includes information on taxes — state and federal income and payroll
taxes — and transfers — Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and the Food
Stamps program, which was renamed the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP) in late 2008, the year of our analysis. The analysis focuses on families headed
by individuals who are between ages 25 and 50. Results are summarized in tables for
all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
