[1] Includes returns with adjusted gross deficit.
[2] U.S. totals in Table 2 do not agree with Tables 1 and 3 because Table 2 also includes (a) “substitutes for returns,” whereby the Internal Revenue Service constructs returns for certain nonfilers on the basis of
available information and imposes an income tax on the resulting estimate of the tax base, i.e., “taxable income,” and (b) returns of nonresident or departing aliens. In addition, for Table 2:
a. “Itemized deductions” include any amounts reported by the taxpayer, even if they could not be used in computing “taxable income,” the base on which the regular income tax was computed. Thus, total itemized
deductions include amounts that did not have to be reported by taxpayers with no “adjusted gross income.” (Adjusted gross income is the total from which these deductions would normally be subtracted.) In
addition, if standard and itemized deductions were both reported on a tax return, the form of deduction actually used in computing income tax was the one used for the statistics. Therefore, if the standard
deduction was the form of deduction used, the total reported for itemized deductions was excluded from the statistics. However, the component deductions were not similarly excluded. As a result, the number of
returns and related amounts for the component deductions are slightly overstated in relation to the grand total shown for itemized deductions. These components are also overstated in relation to the total because
there was a statutory limitation on the total of itemized deductions that could be claimed by certain high-income taxpayers. This limitation did not affect the component deductions, the sum of which therefore
exceeded the total used in computing income tax. See, also, Table 1, footnote 22.
b. “Income tax” includes the “alternative minimum tax,” but differs from “total income tax” in Tables 1 and 3 in that it is after subtraction of all tax credits except a portion of the “earned income credit.” See, also,
footnote 2d below for an explanation of the treatment of the earned income credit, and Table 1, footnotes 31, 34, and 37.
c. “Total tax liability” differs from “income tax,” shown above in Table 2, in that it is the sum of income tax after subtraction of all tax credits except the portions of the “earned income credit,” used to offset income
tax before credits and all other taxes and, in addition, includes the taxes from recapture of certain prior-year credits, tax applicable to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRA’s), Social Security taxes on self-
employment income and on certain tip income, and certain other income-related taxes. See also footnote 2d, below, for an explanation of the treatment of the earned income credit.
d. “Earned income credit,” limited somewhat starting with 1996, includes both the refundable and non-refundable portions. The non-refundable portion could reduce income tax and certain related taxes to zero;
credit amounts in excess of tax, or amounts when there was no tax liability at all, were refundable. See, also, footnote 2c, above.
[3] Less deficit.
[4] "Number,” here, and elsewhere in Table 2, represents number of returns, unless otherwise specified.
[5] See footnote 2a, above.
[6] Unlike Table 1, “total tax credits” exclude the “earned income credit,” shown separately below, in Table 2.
[7] See footnote 2d, above; see also, Table 1, footnote 37.
[8] The refundable portion of the “earned income credit” equals the amount in excess of “total tax liability,” which is shown below in Table 2 and defined in footnote 2c. The excess credit shown includes any
“advance earned income credit payments” for those returns that had such an excess. See also, footnote 2d, above, and Table 1, footnote 37.
[9] See footnote 2b, above.
[10] See footnote 2c, above.
[11] Reflects payments of the taxes listed in footnote 2c, above.
[12] See Table 1, footnote 40.
[13] Includes the Alaskan permanent fund, reported by residents of Alaska on Forms 1040A and 1040EZ’s.
[14] Includes, for example, returns filed from Army Post Office and Fleet Post Office addresses by members of the armed forces stationed overseas; returns filed by other U.S. citizens abroad; and returns
filed by residents of Puerto Rico with income from sources outside Puerto Rico or with income earned as U.S. Government employees.
NOTE: This table presents aggregates of all returns filed and processed through the Individual Master File (IMF) system during Calendar Year 2004, including any returns filed for tax years preceding 2003.
In general, during administrative or Master File processing, taxpayer reporting discrepancies are corrected only to the extent necessary to verify the income tax liability reported. Most of the other corrections to the
taxpayer records used for these statistics could not be made because of time and resource constraints. The statistics in Table 2 should, therefore, be used with the knowledge that some of the data have not been
perfected or edited for statistical purposes and that U.S. totals in this table may not be altogether comparable to U.S. totals in Tables 1 and 3, as a result. Also, see footnote 2, above for differences in tax
return coverage, which affects U.S. totals in this table.
Classification by State was usually based on the taxpayer’s home address. However, some taxpayers may have used the address of a tax lawyer or accountant or the address of a place of business; moreover, such
addresses could each have been located in a State other than the State in which the taxpayer resided.
