also, what is an estimate of how many people paid personal income taxes?
i am trying to figure out how much each person would have to pay if it was a fixed number.

that can't be right. for each return, it averages to just over $9 per individual.

The IRS published numbers for their tax collection.
For 2006, the amount collected from individual returns was: $1,236,259,371
Individual returns filed in 2006 were: 133,917,068
I hope that helps.

Michael left out that the total amount collected is in thousands of dollars while the total number of returns is correct.
Total collected for 2006 (correct): $1,236,259,371,000
Individual returns filed in 2006 were: 133,917,068
So, the total paid is $9,231 per tax return. You must remember that married couples and families can file a single return.

Would you include children? Would you tax the sick and old the same as a billionaire?
