High-income tax returns, tax year 2017 PDF 
By Justin Bryan

This annual study provides detailed data on individual income tax returns with adjusted gross income or expanded income greater than $200,000. It also looks at high-income, nontaxable returns (HINTs) and the reason for nontaxability. For 2017, there were over 7.7 million individual income tax returns with an expanded income of $200,000 or more, accounting for 5.1 percent of all returns for the year. Of these, 10,988 returns had no worldwide income tax liability. This was a 14.9-percent decrease over the number of returns with no worldwide income tax liability for 2016. It was the sixth decrease in the past 8 years, and well below the peak of 19,551 returns for 2009.
