Meanwhile, these two tables offer a snapshot of who is paying what for the 2014 tax year.
The first gives shares of income and federal income taxes for 2014 for some 325 million Americans, dividing the population into five income quintiles of about 65 million people each.
The second table provides further information about the top 20%, who pay more than 80% of income taxes.
The data come from estimates by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a Washington-based research group, as Internal Revenue Service data for 2014 won’t be available for at least two years
