Note that 2020 is an outlier year due to COVID, so probably best to look at 2019 or before.
In 2019, 9 states paid more than they got back. And wow do some states make a lot of money: Virginia and Kentucky both have a per capita "more money than they take in" that's 3X that of Montana. But Montana still is raking in ~$4000 per capita than they pay out, whereas each Massachusetts resident sent out ~$2100.
I grew up in North Dakota, so can I get a free day ski pass next time I come out west and swing by Montana? :)
