Commerce Department releases annual revisions to NIPA accounts - employee compensation revised upwards, corporate profits revised downwards. dismal.com Before everyone has a cow, or a cat, the IRS doesn't release its final data for a couple of years - last time I checked, a couple of weeks ago, the latest final IRS data was 1998. The preliminary Commerce Dept. statistics are based largely on surveys. IRS data is as good as it gets. People may lie to the IRS, but they'll never admit it. Well, the bank records that the Fed keeps are as good as it gets, as well. Gone over with a fine tooth comb by professional accountants. If it's fudged, you'll never prove it.
