The report says that the % of people(tax units) who didn't pay either in 2020 was 20.5%. The 43.3% was the % of tax units that had a net negative income and payroll taxes (thought I doubt this included the employer side of the tax which for economics purposes falls on the worker). But that was also the Covid year. Most years it's 25%-22%, which doesn't seem high for the poor, the disabled, and the retired.
