The question is much of an outlier is it from normal? My taxes often vary significantly due to restricted stock units, sign on bonuses, crypto transactions, etc. 36% higher than the mean might still be within a standard deviation if it's normally high variance. It's a large number, and it's part of a global scale problem. But, the presentation of the number has been worthless because it hasn't shared how abnormal the number is and most people have zero frame of reference. For example, I live on a small lake. About 400 access. The lake level, in the absence of rain and inflow would drop about 1.5 inches a week. Surprisingly, that comes out to more than 9000 tons of water evaporating a day. From a small lake. In normal conditions.
