It is organized in 3 parts:

Individual Statistics Branch studies include data related to the Form 1040 Individual income tax return series, as well as data on sales of capital assets and an extensive program that connects income tax returns with information documents filed by third parties.
The Corporation Statistics Branch studies focus on data collected from the Form 1120 series and SOI’s Partnership program.
Special Studies Branch programs include data collected for Estate and Gift Taxes, Tax-exempt Organizations, and Tax-Exempt Bonds, as well as information collected for international filers.

Each tax form included in the SOI program is represented in this volume. Due to resource constraints, data from certain forms and schedules are collected periodically, rather than annually. For this reason, the contents of this document will vary somewhat from year to year. The information collected for each SOI project is developed in close collaboration with data users both inside and outside of the government. Most SOI programs are based on stratified samples of returns for which data are collected prior to IRS audits; therefore the data represent information as originally reported by taxpayers.

Tax Year 2001–2010 Individual Income Tax Return Statistics by Percentiles—Three tables are now available. These updated tables show historical statistics from 2001 through 2010 on income and tax by cumulative percentiles based on numbers of returns. The tables show distributions of adjusted gross income (AGI) and total income tax, as defined for each tax year, by descending and ascending cumulative percentiles of returns in both current and constant dollars. They can be used to make comparisons across cumulative percentile classes beginning with Tax Year 2001. This release including the Tax Year 2010 percentile data were produced using an improved methodology to that of previous SOI releases of percentile data in order to refine the accuracy of the percentile estimates. The data in these tables are based on a modified universe of tax returns. In particular, all individual income tax returns except returns of dependents are now used in the computation whereas previous releases were based on only returns with positive AGI. This change was the result of feedback and recommendations made by users of these statistics who encouraged SOI to assess the utility of the information. The data in the improved tables shown here, while more accurate for the dollar amounts shown, are still very similar in terms of percentages when compared to the data produced under the previous methodology. (November 2012)
