Analysis measured rate of Google searches for tax-related terms, with Colorado coming out on top

Georgia and Virginia also rank highly for searches about taxes
New research has revealed that people in Colorado are most anxious about their tax returns.
The study by tax relief professionals Ideal Tax analysed Google data from each state based on searches for more than 150 terms related to filing a tax return, such as “tax calculator”, “Tax deadline 2023” and “child tax credit”. The results were compared against each state’s population to reveal where people are searching most for tax help.
Colorado topped the ranking with 4,456 average monthly searches per 100,000 people. This is based on the fact that people in the state register an average of 260,269 searches for tax-related topics each month, which when compared against its population of around 5.8 million people results in the highest rate of searches in the country.
Georgia places second in the ranking, with a slightly lower rate of 4,425 tax related searches for every 100,000 people in the state, which is calculated from estimated searches 482,945 each month from its population of 10,912,876.
Third in the tax-search rankings is Virginia, where the 8.6 million population Google tax-related terms on average 380,624 times each month. That equates to 4,383 searches for every 100,000 people in the state.
The top five is completed by Washington in fourth place, on 4243 searches per 100,000 people, and California just behind on 4,234 monthly searches.
