File Characteristics F. Selected Income and Tax Items G. Endnotes A. Overview The Statistics of Income (SOI) division bases its ZIP code data on administrative records of individual income tax returns (Forms 1040) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Individual Master File (IMF) system. Included in these data are returns filed during the 12-month period, January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016. While the bulk of returns filed during the 12-month period are primarily for Tax Year 2015, the IRS received a limited number of returns for tax years before 2015 and these have been included within the ZIP code data. B. Nature of Changes The following changes have been made to the Tax Year 2015 ZIP Code data: One new variable has been added for volunteer prepared returns: volunteered income tax assistance (VITA) returns with Earned Income Credit. Three new number of return variables have been added to the data: Refund anticipation loan returns, refund anticipation check returns, and elderly returns. Please refer to section F for a complete list of variables and their corresponding names. . C. Population Definitions and Tax Return Addresses ZIP Code data are based on population data that was filed and processed by the IRS during the 2016 calendar year. State totals may not be comparable to State totals published elsewhere by SOI because of specific disclosure protection features in the ZIP code data.[1] Data do not represent the full U.S. population because many individuals are not required to file an individual income tax return. The address shown on the tax return may differ from the taxpayer’s actual residence. State codes were based on the ZIP code shown on the return. Excluded were tax returns filed without a ZIP code and returns filed with a ZIP code that did not match the State code shown on the return. Excluded were tax returns filed using Army Post Office (APO) and Fleet Post Office addresses, foreign addresses, and addresses in Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas, and Palau. 1 D. Disclosure Protection Procedures SOI did not attempt to correct any ZIP codes on the returns; however, it did take the following precautions to avoid disclosing information about specific taxpayers: ZIP codes with less than 100 returns and those identified as a single building or nonresidential ZIP code were categorized as “other” (99999). Income and tax items with less than 20 returns for a particular AGI class were combined with another AGI class within the same ZIP Code. Collapsed AGI classes are identified with a double asterisk (**). All number of returns variables have been rounded to the nearest 10. Excluded from the data are items with less than 20 returns within a ZIP code. Excluded from the data are tax returns with a negative adjusted gross income. Excluded are tax returns representing a specified percentage of the total of any particular cell. For example, if one return represented 75 percent of the value of a given cell, the return was suppressed from the tabulation. The actual threshold percentage used cannot be released. E. File Characteristics The ZIP code data are available in three formats: (1) Individual state excel files—15zp##xx.xls (## = 01-51; xx = AL-WY) (2) A comma separated file (.csv) with AGI classes —15zpallagi.csv (3) A comma separated file[2] without AGI classes(The AGI_STUB variable has been set to zero for this file)—15zpallnoagi.csv For all the files, the money amounts are reported in thousands of dollars.

Endnotes: [1] For complete individual income tax tabulations at the State level, see the historic table posted to Tax Stats at http://www.irs.gov/uac/SOI-Tax-Stats---Historic-Table-2. [2] Does not include returns with adjusted gross deficit. [3] The "Number of volunteer prepared returns" shows counts of returns prepared by IRS-certified volunteers to taxpayers with limited income, persons with disabilities, limited English speaking taxpayers, current and former members of the military, and taxpayers who are 60 years of age and older. [4] Includes primary taxpayers 60 years of age and older. [5] “Qualified dividends” are ordinary dividends received in tax years beginning after 2002 that meet certain conditions and receive preferential tax rates. The maximum qualified dividends tax rate is 15%. [6] Includes the Alaskan permanent fund, reported by residents of Alaska on Forms 1040A and 1040EZ's. This fund only applies to statistics in the totals, and the state of Alaska. [7] Earned income credit includes both the refundable and non-refundable portions. The non-refundable portion could reduce income tax and certain related taxes to zero. The earned income credit amounts in excess of total tax liability, or amounts when there was no tax liability at all, were refundable. See footnote 8 below for explanation of the refundable portion of the earned income credit. [8] The refundable portion of the earned income credit equals total income tax minus the earned income credit. If the result is negative, this amount is considered the refundable portion. No other refundable credits were taken into account for this calculation. [9] Income tax reflects the amount reported on Form 1040 line 56. It also includes data from Form 1040A and 1040EZ filers. [10] “Total tax liability” differs from “Income tax”, in that “Total tax liability” includes the taxes from recapture of certain prior-year credits, tax applicable to individual retirement arrangements (IRA's), social security taxes on self-employment income and on certain tip income, advanced earned income payments, household employment taxes, and certain other taxes listed in the Form 1040 instructions. [11] Reflects payments to or withholdings made to "Total tax liability". This is the amount the tax filer owes when the income tax return is filed. [12] The amount of overpayments the tax filer requested to have refunded. 11
