97% of Taxes Paid by Top Half of Earners: Fair Share or Unbalanced? – msn/Tax Foundation


Distribution of US Income: Baseline Estimates – Tax Policy Center

“The Tax Policy Center regularly produces tables showing the distribution of income and federal taxes, effective and marginal tax rates, and other measures of federal taxes. Other tables show estimates of individual tax expenditures, the share of taxpayers who pay no income or payroll tax, the distribution of capital gains and business income, and aspects of the alternative minimum tax. 

“Once most TCJA individual income tax provisions expire at the end of 2025, effective federal tax rates are projected to rise from 19.4 percent to 20.4 percent…(U)pper income households who benefited the most from the tax cuts generally experience the largest changes when they are reversed.”
