Income distribution (personal income, compensation of employees, wage and salaries, non-wage income)
Wage and Salaries distribution by AGI class

codykallen commented 7 years ago

For individuals: losses, deductions and excess credits carried forward. For firms (corporate and noncorporate): net operating losses carried forward, other credits carried forward (e.g. the prior year minimum tax credit). Having aggregate totals of these would by useful for modeling the impact of business tax reforms.

Capital gains realizations projections. They're in the January 2016 detailed revenue projections but no others.

salimfurth commented 7 years ago

Distribution of labor force participation estimates by skill/education/income if they do anything like that.

Would you like to see all of the income items tabbed by AGI group, or something else? Which AGI groups would be best?

@MattHJensen asked:

I was thinking the distribution by groups of the income items themselves -- that should be the easiest. But if distribution by AGI is available, it would be the best for tax modeling with micro data.

Which AGI groups would be best?

I thought just the SOI AGI bins.

Total liabilities by calendar year for budget window and historically.

martinholmer commented 6 years ago

@MattHJensen, is there any value in keeping taxdata issue #91 open? Hasn't the deadline for giving CBO suggestions long passed?

MattHJensen commented 6 years ago

Agree that this issue should be closed, but please feel free to email me for an introduction if you have other suggestions to pass on to CBO. CBO is approaching their project as a series of incremental improvements that will be made over time, so they are still very welcome to suggestions.
