How to read this comparison

This dashboard reflects the states included in the supplied analysis output rather than a 50-state panel. Every tax measure shown here is already normalized on a per-return basis, which makes bracket-by-bracket comparisons cleaner than raw totals.

The heatmap shows where real estate taxes per return are highest, the deduction chart compares mortgage interest with total Schedule A taxes for each state-bracket combination, and the participation chart separates business/self-employment reporting from farm reporting.
