UPPER INCOME MAP BY STATE


We thought you might find it interesting to see a map showing the percentage of fliers in each state earning over $500,000.  The Fiscal Cliff compromise that passed a few days ago uses a higher threshold for most of the expired tax cuts - $400,000 (for single filers) and $450,000 (for joint filers.) The nearest threshold it's possible to do a map of IRS data with is $500,000, so below, by state, is a map showing the percentage of tax returns with adjusted gross income (AGI) over $500,000.
