SOI Tax Stats - IRS Data Book

 
 

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Data Book is published annually by the IRS and contains statistical tables and organizational information on a fiscal year basis. The report provides data on collecting the revenue, issuing refunds, enforcing the law, assisting the taxpayer, and the budget and workforce.

You can view selected summary graphs, key statistics, and descriptions of the tables and the IRS functions they cover. To download data tables on IRS and taxpayer statistics, visit the relevant section page listed on the left-side navigation column.

Graphic shows gross collections by type of tax for fiscal years 2013 through 2022. Total gross collections were relatively steady from 2013 through 2020, then increased sharply in fiscal years 2021 and 2022. In fiscal year 2022, gross collections increased in all categories: business income, individual income, employment, estate and gift, and excise taxes.
