SOI Tax Stats - Nonfarm sole proprietorship statistics

 

The Sole Proprietorship study covers basic data, including business receipts, deductions, and net income reported by an individual taxpayer on Schedule C of Form 1040. The information is for nonfarm sole proprietorships and is broken down by industrial groups for analysis of the data.

Information on farms, reported by individual taxpayers on Schedule F of Form 1040, is included in many of the Form 1040 data tables found in Individual Tax Statistics.
