New Hampshire owes more than it owns.

New Hampshire's Taxpayer Burden™ is -$5,000, and it received a "D" from TIA.

New Hampshire is a Sinkhole State without enough assets to cover its debt.

Elected officials have created a Taxpayer Burden™, which is each taxpayer's share of state bills after its available assets have been tapped.

TIA's Taxpayer Burden™ measurement incorporates both assets and liabilities, not just pension debt.

New Hampshire only has $2.1 billion of assets available to pay bills totaling $4.8 billion.

Because New Hampshire doesn't have enough money to pay its bills, it has a $2.7 billion financial hole. To fill it, each New Hampshire taxpayer would have to send $5,000 to the state.

New Hampshire's reported net position is understated by $406 million, largely because the state defers recognizing losses incurred when the net pension liability increases.

The state's financial report was released 180 days after its fiscal year end, which is considered timely according to the 180 day standard.
