OverviewThe Statistics of Income (SOI) Division’s ZIP code data is tabulated using individual income tax returns (Forms 1040) filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) during the 12-month period, January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. While the bulk of returns filed during this 12-month period are primarily for Tax Year 2018, the IRS received a limited number of returns for tax years before 2018. These prior-year returns are used as a proxy for returns that are typically filed beyond the 12-month period and have been included within the ZIP code data. [1]B. Nature of ChangesFor Tax Year 2018, the Form 1040 underwent a major redesign. Accordingly, the following changes have been made to the ZIP Code data:Personal exemption deductions were suspended for the primary, secondary, and dependent taxpayers. However, filing status and dependent filer information are still available. The previous field, Number of exemptions, will be renamed Number of individuals and based on the available filer information. The variable name (N2) will remain the same.IRA distributions (N01400 and A01400) and Pensions and annuities (N01700 and A01700), which were previously separated, have been combined to create a new field: IRAs, pensions, and annuities (N01750 and A01750).The Total standard deduction (N04450 and A04450), Basic standard deduction (N04100 and A04100), and Additional standard deduction (N04200 and A04200) have been added. For 2018, the standard deduction has nearly doubled for all filers.Taxes paid has been renamed Total taxes paid, but the variable name has stayed the same (N18300 and A18300). Gambling loss deduction and other non-limited miscellaneous deduction has been renamed Other non-limited miscellaneous deduction, but the variable name has stayed the same (N20950 and A20950). Income tax has been renamed Income tax after credits, but the variable name has stayed the same (N06500 and A06500).The Tuition and fees deduction, Domestic production activities deduction, Net limited miscellaneous deduction, and Qualified mortgage insurance premium have been removed.Other new variables include: the Limited state and local taxes paid (N18460 and A18460), the Qualified business income deduction (N04475 and A04475), and the Child and other dependent credit (N07225 and A07225), which replaced the previous Child tax credit (N07220 and A07220).C. Population Definitions and Tax Return AddressesZIP Code data are based on population data that was filed and processed by the IRS during the 2019 calendar year.State totals may not be comparable to State totals published elsewhere by SOI because of disclosure protection procedures or the exclusion of returns. [2] Data do not represent the full U.S. population because many individuals are not required to file an individual income tax return.The address shown on the tax return may differ from the taxpayer’s actual residence.State codes were based on the ZIP code shown on the return.Tax returns filed without a ZIP code and returns filed with a ZIP code that did not match the State code shown on the return were excluded.Tax returns filed using Army Post Office (APO) and Fleet Post Office addresses, foreign addresses, and addresses in Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas, and Palau were excluded.D. Disclosure Protection ProceduresSOI did not attempt to correct any ZIP codes listed on the tax returns; however, it did take the following precautions to avoid disclosing information about specific taxpayers:ZIP codes with less than 100 returns and those identified as a single building or nonresidential ZIP code were categorized as “other” (99999). Income and tax items with less than 20 returns for a particular AGI class were combined with another AGI class within the same ZIP Code. Collapsed AGI classes are identified with a double asterisk (**).All number of returns variables have been rounded to the nearest 10.Income and tax items with less than 20 returns within a ZIP code were excluded.Tax returns with a negative adjusted gross income were excluded.If an income or tax item from one return constitutes more than a specified percentage of the total of any particular cell, the specific data item for that return is excluded from that cell. For example, if the amount for wages from one return represents 75 percent of the value of the total for that cell, the data item will be suppressed. The actual threshold percentage used cannot be released. E. File CharacteristicsThe ZIP code data are available in three formats: Individual state Excel files—18zp##xx.xlsx (## = 01-51; xx = AL-WY) A comma separated file (.csv) with AGI classes —18zpallagi.csvA comma separated file[2] without AGI classes(The AGI_STUB variable has been set to zero for this file)—18zpallnoagi.csvFor all the files, the money amounts are reported in thousands of dollars.F.

Endnotes:[1] The use of prior-year returns as a proxy for returns that are filed beyond the current processing year is consistent with SOI’s national, state, county, and ZIP code tabulations. A description of SOI’s sample, which is used as an input for the geographic data, and the use of prior-year returns, can be found at . [2] For complete individual income tax tabulations at the State level, see the historic table posted to Tax Stats at .[3] Beginning in 2018, personal exemption deductions were suspended for the primary, secondary, and dependent taxpayers. However, the data used to create the “Number of individuals”—filing status, dependent status indicator, and identifying dependent information—are still available on the Form 1040. This field is based on these data.[4] The "Number of volunteer prepared returns" shows counts of returns prepared by IRS-certified volunteers for taxpayers with limited income, persons with disabilities, limited English speaking taxpayers, current and former members of the military, and taxpayers who are 60 years of age and older.[5] These data do not distinguish between refund anticipation loans and refund advances.[6] Includes primary taxpayers 60 years of age and older.[7] Does not include returns with adjusted gross deficit.[8] “Qualified dividends” are ordinary dividends received in tax years beginning after 2002 that meet certain conditions and receive preferential tax rates. [9] Includes the Alaskan permanent fund, reported by residents of Alaska on Forms 1040A and 1040EZ's. This fund only applies to statistics in the totals, and the state of Alaska.[10] Earned income credit includes both the refundable and non-refundable portions. The non-refundable portion could reduce income tax and certain related taxes to zero. The earned income credit amounts in excess of total tax liability, or amounts when there was no tax liability at all, were refundable. See footnote 11 below for explanation of the refundable portion of the earned income credit.[11] The refundable portion of the earned income credit equals total income tax minus the earned income credit. If the result is negative, this amount is considered the refundable portion. No other refundable credits were taken into account for this calculation.[12] “Total tax liability” differs from “Income tax”, in that “Total tax liability” includes the taxes from recapture of certain prior-year credits, tax applicable to individual retirement arrangements (IRA's), social security taxes on self-employment income and on certain tip income, advanced earned income payments, household employment taxes, and certain other taxes listed in the Form 1040 instructions.[13] Reflects payments to or withholdings made to "Total tax liability". This is the amount the tax filer owes when the income tax return is filed.[14] The amount of overpayments the tax filer requested to have refunded. ................
