SOI Tax Stats - Integrated Business Data

 

This section contains statistical tables and articles on all businesses, which were compiled to form the SOI Integrated Business Dataset (IBD). The IBD was assembled at the table level from the annual SOI cross-sectional studies of corporations ( C and S corporations), partnerships, and nonfarm sole proprietorships. The dataset combines data from these types of organizations to enable examination of changes in business composition. Data from exempt organizations with unrelated business income (Form 990-T) are not included.

Data from these annual statistical studies are generally publicly available and are published in a variety of SOI reports (see Products and Publications or business organizational areas of interest). They represent weighted estimates of U.S. totals by year for each legal form or organizational type, and were discussed at length in the papers below.

The tables are available as Microsoft Excel® files. A free Excel viewer is available for download, if needed.
