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 2016, there were over 6.9 million individual income tax returns with an expanded income of $200,000 or more, accounting for 4.6 percent of all returns for the year. Of these, 12,910 returns had no worldwide income tax liability. This was a 17.9-percent increase over the number of returns with no worldwide income tax liability for 2015, and the second increase in a row after 5 years of decreases.
