And btw, 50 % of tax filers are not tax free.....31% are in that category.....their income is 20K and below..... You link is from the year 2000 not exactly current. More importantly it doesn't answer the question of how many people have no net tax liability. It shows that 31.1% of tax returns reported an income of $20K or less but 1 - Not everyone files, esp. if they have very low income and no tax liability. 2 - The set of people who on the net owed and/or paid no taxes is not an equivalent set to the set of people with incomes of $20K and below.
