- wtf_is_up 6y agoAre they taxpayers if they don't pay taxes?

- perl4ever 6y agoI'm skeptical of this statistic even though I've heard similar things before. There are about 154 million tax returns filed per the IRS, and 128 million households. It seems like a lot of returns if half of them don't pay taxes. It seems like about 78% of tax returns involve paying taxes, in fact. A tax return isn't necessarily a household, but is it that far off on average?
