- bombcar 4y agoSome taxes, not all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Puerto_Rico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxation_in_Puerto_Rico > Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States and Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens; however, Puerto Rico is not a U.S. state, but a U.S. insular area. Consequently, while all Puerto Rico residents pay federal taxes, many residents are not required to pay federal income taxes. Aside from income tax, U.S. federal taxes include customs taxes, federal commodity taxes, and federal payroll taxes (Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment taxes). Any attempt to give PR statehood or make it part of an existing state (Florida, I guess?) would meet with vociferous objection from Puerto Rico.
