How we work

• Public data only. These studies use published government statistics, such as the IRS's tax return data. They never use information from our clients' returns.
• Every figure names its source and period, and our own calculations are labeled as ours.
• Where a source has limits, the study says so.
• Spotted an error? Tell us and we will correct it and note the change on the page.

Using our data

Each study's data is free to download as a CSV and free to use with credit to Haigler CPA Group and a link to the study, under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. Read the license.
