Statistics of Income Division of the Internal Revenue Service.

Individual Income Tax Returns
Preliminary Income, Deduction, and Residential Energy
Credit Statistics for 1979                              4
by Noreen Hofmeier
Preliminary statistics for Income Year 1979 showed a 3.2-per-
cent increase in the number of individual income tax returns
filed, from 89.8 million for Income Year 1978 to 92.6 million
for Income Year 1979, in spite of the tax law changes raising the
minimum income levels for filing a tax return. Adjusted gross
income reached $1.5 trillion for 1979, a 12.4-percent increase
over 1978.
The tax return data presented in this article reflect not only
economic conditions, but also the results of tax law changes
that went into effect for 1979. Major changes for 1979 tax re-
turns, which were chiefly the result of the Revenue Act of 1978,
covered income, exemptions, deductions, credits, and tax.

Corporation Income Tax Returns, 1988                   24
by Amy Pavelko and Patrice Treubert
As a reflection of the continued economic growth in the 1980s
and base broadening provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986
(TRA), corporate pretax profits for 1988 increased 25.8 per-
cent to $413.0 billion. Income Year 1988 was also the first for
which many of the changes to the tax code based on TRA were
fully implemented. The number of returns declined from 3.61
million to 3.56 million chiefly because of the unusually large
number of part-year returns filed for 1987, which were required
to implement new TRA rules applicable to S Corporations. This
was the first decline in the number of corporation income tax
returns filed since the end of World War II.
