If I recall correctly, estimated 2021 federal tax receipts were $3.5T and spending was $8T (before latest $1.9T "COVID relief", I think). With this kind of "creative accounting" I would not put much stock on any state's received vs paid numbers.

MI, with our ten million residents, got IIRC ten billion in direct aid to governments, on top of $1400 x ten mil ($14B) to the residents themselves.
