Federal Taxes

The Tax Foundation's Center for Federal Tax Policy produces and promotes timely and high-quality data, research, and analysis on federal tax issues that influences the debate toward economically principled policies. Our experts are routinely relied upon for presentations, testimony, and media appearances on individual and corporate tax issues, and our website is a comprehensive resource for taxpayers, journalists, lawmakers and their staff.

IRS data can be intimidating, so Tax Foundation economists have compiled this information in a user-friendly format.
