I hope my italics are visible, if not lemme know, i'll adjust.


"State" is a jurisdiction. Any jurisdiction that has taxing authority is a STATE.
The meaning of "State" in this statute refers to one of the 50 States. Then they go on to really spell it out for us by listing all taxing jurisdictions:
"United States, by any Territory, dependency, or possession thereof, or by any State, county, municipality, or local taxing authority."
