Key PointsQuestion  Is state-level tax policy associated with infant mortality in the United States? Findings  In this cross-sectional study of 148 336 infant deaths from 1996 through 2019, an increase in tax revenue and the Suits index of tax progressivity were both statistically significantly associated with decreased infant mortality. These associations varied by race and ethnicity.
