Thank you for A2A.In order to get to a reliable number we'd need to know more about you, including number of your dependents, variety of deductions, whether you work in the city or nearby, etc. You can get to an easy estimate here: Estimate 2014 Tax Refund with the 2013 Return Calculator.But to give an approximation for example purposes, if you are single and qualify only for standard deduction, than your Federal Tax should be around $22,231. Your city and state tax, which are additional will depend on where you work (be it NJ, CT, NY, or NYC).

This question is really a study in the give-and-take that makes America great. Consider these elements:Where to draw the line.Immediate strengths of each.Likely changes after the split.Conclusions1. Where to draw the line.The first issue to consider is, of course, how to make the demarcation. By overlapping several measures we can find convergence.2012 Presidential Electoral Map2012 Presidential Electoral Map By County2004 Presidential Electoral Map2014 Governors2014 Senators2014 Representatives2. Immediate strengths of each.Blue:UniversitiesPoliticsTechFinanceMediaGDPEducation levelSocial liberalismRed:MilitaryAgricultureEnergy & MiningContiguityRacial DiversityCost of LivingIncome EqualityReligiosity, Birth rates3. Likely changes after the split.Finance - Some of the infrastructure and industry would begin to balance immediately. Dallas would become a significant financial center, while New York's financial importance on the world stage would drop significantly. Given Brexit, Hong Kong would be the dominant force in global finance. The US dollar would no longer be the world's reserve currency, a major setback for both economies.Military - Militarily, Red States would be flush, and would likely scale back. Unchecked, this could unleash conflicts worldwide, as geopolitical alignments would be renegotiated in a power vacuum. Blue States would have the money and people to militarize given time, but their disconnected geography would be nearly impossible to defend. This would be an expensive drain on Blue, though they would have quite a bit of money to devote to it.Universities - The Blue States would be guaranteed an elite education system from CA and NY (and likely MA). The Red States would be in decent shape given NC and TX as well as one-offs such as Notre Dame and Vanderbilt, and diverting elite Red State students from Blue to Red schools would have a balancing effect. But the Red States would be far behind, so would court a top university state with a Republican governor (MA, IL, NJ, MD).Hard Industries - Core industries are the strength of the Red States. They would be self-sufficient on energy and agriculture etc., and have a decent manufacturing base that could easily be shored up. Red States would be contiguous, a massive strength for transportation and supply chain, and while it would have great ports on the Atlantic side, control of the Panama Canal could matter. Blue States would have good port access to both oceans, but would be disconnected from each other. Reliance on imports would be a geopolitical weakness.Canada would be the Blue States' most important ally, and in fact the two might join up. By the numbers it is an economic replacement for Texas, brings an abundance of natural resources, and offers the east-west contiguity the Blue States lack. In fact, culturally it would fit in well, as its populace is white, educated, and progressive, so one could imagine annexation. (One could also imagine a blue-red split in Canada to exacerbate all these issues.) With Alaska isolated it might go Blue, a great get on natural resources.Politics - The top political apparatus is concentrated in Blue States, resulting in strong political continuity. There would be a transition period of course, but the Blue States would greatly benefit here. While plenty of political actors and think tanks would go with Red, and the state/local-level institutions would provide stability, the transition at the national level would be ugly. Probably the capital would be in TX, the nation's geographic and economic center.Knowledge Industries - Blue States dominate media and tech, which could continue to lead the world. There would be some loss of talent and market -- and certainly a Red State investment into its regional centers -- but these industries already enjoy a global draw. Tax and regulatory environments would give these industries a reason to have subsidiaries and the like in the Red States, but the innovative center of gravity would remain in California (and New York, as appropriate).Policy Trajectories - Politically, the Blue states are likely to increase government transfers, taxes, and immigration, Red States the opposite. By encouraging business relocation this would be a balancing force on GDPs. By encouraging demographic relocation I suspect this would even out current differences in obesity, teen pregnancy, racial diversity, etc. I'm not sure how economic inequality would shift on aggregate, unless a consumption tax were instituted, but differences in cost of living and social liberalism would be pressured further.4. ConclusionsThis is not a good situation for either group. Blue States would be more vulnerable, while Red States would struggle to soar. All industries would lose the edge that so much built-in talent and market share provide. The greatnesses of each would be blunted, while the worst tendencies of each would go unchecked. Neither would be the world's superpower, hurting both economies and adding to costs. And a substantial geopolitical realignment could mean trouble for everyone, not just Americans.We’re better together, guys.
