STATISTICS OF INCOME FOR 1931
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,OFFICE OF COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
Washington, D.C., October 18, 1933.SIR: In accordance with the provisions contained in the Revenue
Act of 1916 and subsequent Acts for the publication annually of sta-tistics with respect to the operation of the income, war-profits, andexcess-profits tax laws, I have the honor to transmit herewith a reportentitled "Statistics of Income for 1931,>? prepared from the income-tax returns of individuals and corporations for that year filed during1932, with a historical presentation of the income and tax liabilityreported by; individuals and corporations since the inception of thepresent period of income taxation under the sixteenth amendmentto the Constitution. The report also contains tabulations of datafrom estate-tax returns filed during 1932, irrespective of the date ofdeath of the decedent, and a brief historical summary.
GENERAL EXPLANATIONS
Returns tabulated.—In general, the returns included in this reportare for the calendar year 1931, filed under the provisions of theRevenue Act of 1928. However, a considerable number of corpora-tion returns and a negligible number of individual returns are for afiscal year other than the calendar year. Thus there are included withthe returns for the calendar year 1931, returns with fiscal year endingwithin the period July 1, 1931, to June 30, 1932, and fractional (partyear) returns for which the greater part of the period falls in 1931.Returns with income falling in the calendar year 1932 are filed underthe provisions of the Revenue Act of 1932 as well as that of 1928.
The general tables therefore include calendar, fiscal, and frac-tional (part year) returns, except when otherwise specified. Thegeneral tables for corporations include all returns, those showing netincome as well as those showing no net income.
The general tables for individuals include only returns showingnet income. The data tabulated from returns with no net incomeare shown on pages 19, 125. Prior to 1928 no tabulations were madefrom returns with no net income. The Revenue Act of 1921 andsubsequent acts provide that a return be filed, irrespective of theamount of net income (or deficit), by every individual, if single orif married and not living with husband or wife, having a gross incomeof $5,000 and over, and every married couple living together havingan aggregate gross income of $5,000 and over. Moreover, returnsshowing net income below the minimum provided by the revenueacts are frequently filed by married couples who elect to file separatereturns as provided by law; also as part year returns filed in the caseof the death of the taxpayer and covering the income period to thedate of death, and in cases where the taxpayer elects to change theaccounting period.

1 STATISTICS OF INCOME
The statistics contained in this report are based on the taxpayers'returns as filed, unaudited except for a preliminary examination toinsure proper execution of the returns, and include amended returnsshowing net income of $100,000 and over, but do not include amendedreturns with net income under $100,000. Income-tax returns filedby individuals having net income of $5,000 and over and individualreturns of net income under $5,000 which display income character-istics similar to those usually found in returns of net income of $5,000and over, such as varied or unusual sources of income or large totalincome, and all returns filed by corporations, pass through the sta-tistical section, and the data are tabulated from each of these returns.
The statistics applying to individual returns with net income under$5,000, except those specified above (which numbered approximately133,000), represent estimates based on samples of such returns.Averages for the various items from a sample for each State areapplied to the total number of returns of the class which they repre-sent to secure estimates for the particular State. The samples areselected from both forms on which individual incomes are reported—form 1040 for net income from salaries or wages of more than $5,000,or income regardless of amount from business, profession, rents, orsale of property, and form 1040-A for net income of not more than$5,000, derived chiefly from salaries and wages. All 1040 returns aresent to Washington for audit, and those with net income under $5,000are sampled by the statistical section. The 1040-A returns areaudited in the collection districts, and samples only are sent toWashington.
The sample for 1931 included approximately 214,000 returns onform 1040, and 200,000 on form 1040-A, representing for each collec-tion district not less than 10 percent of the number of each formof return with net income under $5,000, distributed approximatelyequally between taxable and nontaxable returns. The specifiedminimum for the 1040 returns was 4,000 wherever the number filedexceeded that figure, and for 1040-A's the minimum was 2,000 whereverthe number filed exceeded that figure. When the number of returnsfiled in any collection district in this class was less than the respectiveminima the entire number filed was tabulated.
For 1929 and subsequent years the number of returns with netincome under $5,000 is based in part on Income Tax Unit reports andin part on reports of collectors; for years prior to 1929 it is basedon collectors' reports. (See 1929 Statistics of Income, p. 2.)
Certain basic tables heretofore included in the Statistics of Incomehave been omitted. However, the data, if available, may be obtainedfrom the Bureau of Internal Revenue upon request. In certain textand basic tables the amounts in dollars are expressed in thousands.In every case where this rounding occurs it is clearly indicated in thesubtitle or in a column heading of the table.
General definitions.—Throughout this report "net income" repre-sents the amount of gross income, as defined in the revenue acteffective for the year for which the income is returned, in excess of thedeductions claimed by the taxpayer under the provisions of therespective acts, and "deficit" means excess of deductions over grossincome. The net income of individuals includes capital net gainfrom sale of assets held more than 2 years. Credits allowed indi-viduals, such as personal exemption, credit for dependents, net loss

STATISTICS OF INCOME d
for prior year, and net loss from the sale of capital assets held morethan 2 years which is reported for tax credit, are not included indeductions; neither is the special credit of $3,000 for domestic corpo-rations having net income of $25,000 or less nor net loss for prior yearincluded in deductions in arriving at net income of corporations.
Gross income and deductions shown in the corporation tablescorrespond to the total income and total deductions reported on theface of the return plus the cost of goods sold.
The amount of income-tax liability returned for 1931, shown in thetabulations in this volume, is not entirely comparable with theamount of taxes collected during the calendar year 1932. Severalfactors are responsible for this discrepancy, among which are thefollowing:
1. The amount of tax originally reported on the returns does notalways represent precisely the amount of tax paid, for the reason thatan adjustment may be made after the data have been taken from theoriginal returns for the Statistics of Income. These adjustmentsmay result in additional assessments, thereby increasing the taxliability, or in certificates of overassessments, thereby decreasing thetax liability. An amended return has the same effect as an adjustment.
2. Income and profits taxes paid to foreign governments or posses-sions of the United States are deductible from income taxes payableto the United States as limited by section 131 (b) of the RevenueAct of 1928 with respect to income returned for 1930 and 1931 andas limited by section 131 (b) of the Revenue Act of 1932 with respectto income for 1932. The amount of tax taken as credit under thisprovision of law has not been deducted from the amount of tax lia-bility shown in the tabulations. The aggregate amount of incomeand profits taxes paid to foreign governments or possessions of theUnited States taken as a credit by corporations is, however, shownon page 26. Similar figures for individual returns are availableonly for the years 1925 to 1930, inclusive, and appear on page 9 ofthe Statistics of Income for 1930. Individual income taxes paid atthe source on tax-free covenant bonds are deductible from incometaxes payable by individuals but are not deducted in the income-taxliability of individual returns shown herein. However, all collectionsrepresenting income tax paid at source on tax-free covenant bondsare classified with the corporation income-tax collections, due to thetax being assessed against the debtor corporations notwithstandingthe fact that it is paid on behalf of individual holders of bonds.
3. The amount of income taxes in fiscal year returns included inthis tabulation may not represent taxes collected during 1932 on suchreturns. Fiscal year returns are required to be filed on or before the15th day of the third month after the end of the fiscal year, and pay-ment as in the case of calendar year returns, is required at the timethe return is filed, or in four quarterly installments. The first of thequarterly installments is due when the return is filed. Thus, duringthe calendar year 1932, collections were made of part or all of thetaxes in returns for fiscal years ended from January 31, 1931 (the lastquarterly installment payment on which was due on or before Jan. 15,1932), to September 30, 1932 (the filing of returns and the full pay-ment or first installment payment on which was due on or beforeDec. 15, 1932), whereas, as previously indicated, there are excludedfrom these statistics the returns for fiscal years ending prior to July1, 1931, and subsequent to June 30, 1932.

4 STATISTICS OF INCOME
4. Delays in payment due to financial embarrassment, death,liquidation of business, or any other cause, result in collections oftaxes after the close of the year in which such taxes are due, and theclassification of such collections as "back taxes" because made in asubsequent year. Certain amounts are uncollectible, due likewise tothe above causes.
5. Current collections include such interest and penalty items asare received during the year in connection with delinquent paymentson returns for 1931.
Industrial classification.—The industrial classification is basedon the predominant business of nonaffiliated corporations or of groupsof affiliated corporations filing a single return. The industrial groups,therefore, do not contain solely corporations engaged exclusively inthe industries in which they are classified, due to the diversifiedindustrial activities of many corporations and especially to affiliatedcorporations filing consolidated returns, which latter include the in-come and deductions of the subsidiary or affiliated corporations. Ifsuch affiliated corporations could be classified independently of theconsolidated returns, many would fall in industrial divisions otherthan the ones in which they are included.
Geographic distribution.—The data, although tabulated by returnsfiled in each State, do not represent what may be called the geographicdistribution of income, there being no way of ascertaining from theincome-tax returns the amount of income originating in the respectiveStates or the amount of tax paid on that basis, as income reportedby an individual or corporation in one State may have been derivedfrom sources in other States. An individual files his income-taxreturn in the collection district in which his legal residence or principalplace of business is located, and a corporation files its income-taxreturn in the collection district in which its principal place of businessor the principal office or agency is situated, excepting closely affiliatedconcerns filing a consolidated return. In the latter case the con-solidated return is frequently filed in a State other than the State inwhich the principal place of business or principal office or agency ofthe subsidiaries is located.
INDIVIDUAL INCOME-TAX RETURNS
The number of returns of individuals for 1931 was 3,225,924, ofwhich 1,525,546 were taxable and 1,700,378 nontaxable. The aggre-gate net income was $13,604,996,128; the net income on taxablereturns was $9,297,017,593, on which the tax liability was $246,127,-277. As compared with the returns for the previous year, the totalnumber for 1931 decreased by 481,585, or 12.99 percent. The aver-age net income for 1931 was $4,217.40 for all returns and $6,094.22 fortaxable returns, the average amount of tax liability was $76.30 for allreturns and $161.34 for taxable returns, and the average tax ratewas 1.81 percent for all returns and 2.65 percent for taxable returns.For the preceding year the average net income was $4,887.01 for allreturns and $6,719.81 for taxable returns, the average tax liabilitywas $128.58 for all returns, and $233.96 for taxable returns, and theaverage tax rate was 2.63 percent for all returns and 3.48 percent fortaxable returns. The ratio of the number of returns filed to thetotal population (Census Bureau estimate of population as of July 1,1931) is 2.59 percent, as compared with a corresponding ratio for thepreceding year of 3.01 percent.

CAPITAL N E T GAINS AND LOSSES (INDIVIDUAL RETURNS)
The special provisions in the revenue acts for capital net gainsand losses from the sale of assets held more than 2 years apply, forcapital net gain, to sales after December 31, 1921, and for capitalnet losses, to sales after December 31, 1923.
Under the Revenue Act of 1921 and subsequent acts, capital netgains as defined in the revenue acts from the sale of assets held morethan 2 years may, at the option of the taxpayer, be reported separatelyand taxed at \2}{ percent in lieu of the normal tax and surtax ratesotherwise applicable. The income tax of the individual in suchcases is the sum of 12% percent of the capital net gains plus thetax on the net income from other sources, termed " ordinary netincome/7 computed according to the provisions of the respectiverevenue acts.
The capital net gains and the tax at 12}£ percent of such gainsreported for 1922 and following years appear on pages 38 and 42-44,respectively, of this report. In order that the amounts shown as "netincome" and "total income" in the Statistics of Income for 1922and subsequent years be made comparable with earlier years, it isnecessary that "net income" and "total income" be increased bythe amount of such gains. These adjustments have been made in theStatistics of Income for these years.
Under the Revenue Act of 1924 and subsequent acts the taxpayermust report his capital net loss, as defined in the respective acts,from the sale of assets held more than 2 years by one of two methodswhichever will produce the larger tax. These two methods are (1)the tax on the net income from other sources, termed "ordinary netincome", computed according to the provisions of the respectiverevenue acts, less 12% percent of the capital net loss, and (2) thetax on the net income computed without regard for the specialprovisions for capital net losses.
The tax credit of 12K percent on capital net losses for 1924 andfollowing years appears on page 38. Under the Revenue Acts of

1918 and 1921 such losses are deducted in arriving at net income.Under the Revenue Acts of 1916 and 1917 losses sustained in trans-actions entered into for profit but not connected with business ortrade are deductible to the extent of the aggregate income from suchtransactions. In order that the amounts shown as "net income"and " deductions " in the Statistics of Income for 1924 and subsequentyears be made comparable with the amounts shown in Statistics ofIncome for 1918 to 1923, inclusive, it is necessary that "net income"be reduced by, and "deductions" be increased by, the amount ofsuch losses. These adjustments have not been^ made in the "netincome" and "deductions" shown in the Statistics of Income forthese years.
NET LOSS FOR PRIOR YEAR (INDIVIDUAL RETURNS)
The net loss during a given • taxable year in a trade or businessregularly carried on by the taxpayer, as specifically defined in theRevenue Acts of 1921 to 1928, inclusive, is allowed as a deduction incomputing the net income of the taxpayer for the succeeding taxableyear, and if such net loss exceeds the net income for the succeedingyear the amount of such excess is to be allowed in the next succeedingyear. Moreover, if such net loss is in excess of the ordinary net incomebefore deduction of this loss, and the taxpayer has a capital net gain,the amount of such excess shall next be applied against the capitalnet gain for such year, and if this excess is larger than the capital netgain for such year, the balance is similarly allowed as a deduction incomputing the ordinary net income and the capital net gain the nextsucceeding taxable year. See section 117 of the Revenue Act of 1928.
Such net losses, being of prior year origin, are not included in thecurrent year deductions in arriving at the net income for the variousyears shown in this volume. Net loss for prior year reported in theindividual income-tax returns for the years 1922 to 1931, inclusive,and taken as a deduction in computing ordinary net income andcapital net gain is given below:

The credit of 25 percent of the tax on earned net income appliesto the tax on the first $5,000 of net income and, if specifically earned,to the tax on an amount not exceeding $10,000 under the RevenueAct of 1924, applicable to returns for 1924, and to an amount notexceeding $20,000 under the Revenue Act of 1926, applicable toreturns for 1925 to 1927, and to an amount not exceeding $30,000under the Revenue Act of 1928, applicable to returns for 1928 to 1931,inclusive.

STATISTICS OF INCOME 25NET LOSS FOR PRIOR YEAR (CORPORATION RETURNS)
The net loss during a given taxable year in a trade or businessregularly carried on by the taxpayer, as specifically defined in theKevenue Acts of 1921 to 1928, inclusive, is allowed as a deduction incomputing the net income of the taxpayer for the two succeedingtaxable years. If such net loss is in excess of the net income (com-puted without such deduction), for that year, the amount of theexcess may be carried over and allowed as a deduction in computingthe net income for the next succeeding taxable year. Under theRevenue Act of 1932 net losses for 1931 only are allowed as deduc-tions in computing net income of the taxpayer for 1932.
The excess net losses being of prior origin are not included in thetabulated current year deductions in arriving at the tabulated netincome figure. Only the reported "Net loss for prior year," whichis taken as a deduction, is tabulated; the excess loss carried to sub-sequent years is not tabulated.
"Net loss for prior year" reported and effective as a deduction indetermining net income in the corporation returns for 1922 to 1931,inclusive, is given below:Year

AMOUNT OF NET INCOME EXEMPT FROM AND SUBJECT TO TAX (CORPORATIONRETURNS)
Under the Revenue Act of 1928, corporation net income subject totax is reduced by a credit of $3,000 allowed corporations with netincome of $25,000 or less. For corporations with net income inexcess of $25,000 but not in excess of $25,360, the method of com-puting the tax, as provided for in the revenue act, affords a variableamount of credit, but in every case less than $3,000. Under theRevenue Act of 1932 no such credit is allowed. A deduction for"Net loss for prior year" from net income for the current year ispermitted. The net income reported, also the net income not sub-ject to and the amount subject to tax in corporation returns for 1931,are shown below:Net income $3, 683, 367, 774Net income not subject to tax:

COMPILED RECEIPTS AND STATUTORY DEDUCTIONS (CORPORATION RETURNS)
In the table on page 28 there appears a summary of the analysis ofcompiled receipts and statutory deductions for 459,704 returns ofactive corporations, classified by corporations submitting and notsubmitting balance sheets. The same analysis in aggregate for allactive corporations without segregation as to corporations submittingand not submitting balance sheets, is presented in basic table 13(pp. 130-141), by major industrial groups, by returns showing netincome and no net income.
Compiled receipts consist of reported taxable income [gross sales,gross profits other than amounts tabulated as gross sales, interestreceived, rents received, profits from sale of capital assets (real estate,stocks, bonds, etc.), and other items of taxable income grouped as11 Miscellaneous receipts"] and nontaxable income items ofj majorimportance (dividends received on capital stock of domestic corpora-tions and interest on Federal, State, and municipal bonds).
Statutory deductions consist of such items as cost of goods sold,compensation of officers, interest paid, taxes paid other than incometax, bad debts, depreciation and depletion, loss from the sale ofcapital assets (real estate, stocks, bonds, etc.), and items not classi-fied grouped as "Miscellaneous deductions."
The amount tabulated as "Cost of goods sold" includes salariesand wages only when shown specifically in item 2 (c) on the face ofthe return (see form 1120, p. 220). Salaries and wages which may beallocable to item 2 (c) but which were reported elsewhere on thereturn were tabulated as "Miscellaneous deductions."
Table 13 also shows the compiled net profit (or compiled netdeficit), statutory net income or deficit, net loss for prior year, incometax, and compiled net profit after deducting tax. Compiled netprofit is the excess of compiled receipts over statutory deductions, andcompiled net deficit is the excess of statutory deductions over compiledreceipts. Part 1 of this basic table shows the aggregate data for allreturns; part 2, for returns showing net income; and part 3, forreturns showing no net income.
For statement of compiled receipts and statutory deductions forall corporations submitting balance sheets distributed by majorindustrial groups and by returns showing net income and no netincome, see Table 13, pages 130-141, and Table 15, pages 148-153.
In using data by the industrial classification contained in basictable 14, the peculiarities with respect to income tax returns w hichprevent a pure industrial classification, as outlined on page 4, shouldbe borne in mind.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CORPORATION RETURNS)
In the table on page 30 are shown for 381,088 corporation returnsout of 459,704 returns of active corporations, a summary statement ofthe principal assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1931, or at theclose of the fiscal year nearest thereto; also a tabulation by net incomeand deficit classes showing the number of returns and the number ofbalance sheets tabulated. Returns reporting balance sheet data of afragmentary nature have not been included with those returns report-ing balance sheets. The difference between the number of balancesheets tabulated and the number of returns is due to the returns forwhich data for assets and liabilities are not reported or are incompletelyreported. In basic table 15 (pp. 148-153) the same data are shownby major industrial groups. This table also includes, for the first time,all items of compiled receipts and statutory deductions for those activecorporations which submitted balance sheets.

STATISTICS OF INCOME 2 9
In using the data by industrial groups the peculiarities with respectto income-tax returns which prevent a pure industrial classification,as outlined on page 4, should be borne in mind.
The following changes in classification of data affect the compar-ability of asset and liability data over a period of years: Prior to1929, "Investments other than tax-exempt77 were not segregatedfrom "Miscellaneous assets not distributed.77 Prior to 1930, stocks,bonds other than tax-exempt, loans, mortgages, etc., owned by lifeinsurance companies were classified as " Miscellaneous assets notdistributed77 and beginning with 1930 as "Investments other than tax-exempt.77 Moreover, the returns of corporations become more com-plete each year with respect to the definite allocation of their formsof assets, thus steadily decreasing the proportion tabulated as " Mis-cellaneous assets not distributed77 as well as causing certain shifts asbetween the principal forms of assets and liabilities. Shifts have beennoted between years particularly under "Liabilities77 in the amountsreported as "Common stock" and "Preferred stock77 due to variationsin reporting these data. For balance sheets in which common andpreferred stock are not reported separately, the combined amount istabulated as "Common stock.77 For balance sheets with no parstock and not reporting capital stock value, the net worth is tabulatedunder "Surplus and undivided profits.77
Items not otherwise distributed are classified as "Miscellane-ous assets77 and "Miscellaneous liabilities,77 among which are thefollowing:
Miscellaneous assets.—Copyrights; formulas; goodwill; patents;trade marks; sinking funds; other funds; deferred charges; organiza-tion expenses; prepaid and suspense items; interest, discount, coupons,and dividends receivable; guaranty deposits, and deposits on con-tracts, meters, and leaseholds; cash value of life insurance. Mis-cellaneous assets of life insurance companies include market value ofreal estate and bonds in excess of book value; interest, rents, andpremiums due; agents7 balances.
Miscellaneous liabilities.—All reserves other than surplus and re-serves for depletion, depreciation, and bad debts; deferred and sus-pense items; funds held in trust; borrowed securities; discount anddividends payable; outstanding coupons and certificates; overdrafts.Miscellaneous liabilities of life insurance companies include the netvalue of outstanding policies and securities and borrowed money.Miscellaneous liabilities of banks include deposits (time, saving,demand, etc.) and bank notes in circulation.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND COMPILED RECEIPTS AND STATUTORY DEDUC-TIONS BY SIZE OF TOTAL ASSETS (CORPORATION RETURNS)
In this report there appear for the first time tables showing assetsand liabilities and compiled receipts and statutory deductions foridentical corporations distributed on the basis of size of total assets.These data are compiled from 381,088 returns filed by corporationsthat submitted balance sheets. The difference between this numberand 459,704 returns of active corporations represents returns of activecorporations that did not submit balance sheets, or for which balancesheet data were of a fragmentary nature.
Data in corporation income-tax returns were classified by size oftotal assets in order to provide a combined income and capitalstatement of corporate data according to a measure of size. Whilethere may be considerable difference of opinion as to whether totalassets is the best basis on which to distribute the data, it is the mostpractical basis available from, the point of view of the tabulationproblems presented. In connection with the classification of corpora-tion data by size of total assets, attention is directed to the fact thatthe balance sheet form " Schedule K" of the corporation income-taxreturn (reprinted on p. 221) provides, in the reporting of assets,that reserves for depreciation of capital assets be deducted from thegross amount of capital assets and also that reserves for bad debtsbe deducted from the gross amount of accounts receivable.
The following table summarizes certain major items for identicalcorporations, by total assets classes, including number of returns,total assets, total compiled receipts and compiled net profit or deficitfor all returns, and for returns with net income and no net income.In basic table 16 (pp. 154-159) are shown in greater detail the prin-cipal assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1931, or at the close ofthe fiscal year nearest thereto, and the principal items of compiledreceipts and statutory deductions. In basic table 17 (pp. 160-177)are shown by major industrial groups and total assets classes selecteditems of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 1931, or at close offiscal year nearest thereto, selected items of receipts, compiled netprofit or deficit, statutory net income or deficit, and cash dividendspaid. For descriptive statement of assets and liabilities see pages28-29, and of compiled receipts and statutory deductions, seepage 27.

On page 28 of the 1930 Statistics of Income, the statement con-cerning revised items for 1927 found in table 19 under " Summaryfor preceding years" should read as follows: "The net change for1927 is $3,000,000,000, which was erroneously included in the itemof "Miscellaneous liabilities not distributed" and should have beenincluded in "Bonded debt and mortgages."

ing," respectively, the following revision of the published figures ismade:
"Gross sales" and ''Cost of goods" are decreased by $1,440,000,000;"Miscellaneous receipts" and "Miscellaneous deductions" are de-creased by $810,000,000; and "Total compiled receipts," "Gross in-come," and "Statutory deductions'" are decreased by $2,250,000,000.REVISED NUMBER OF CONSOLIDATED RETURNS OF CORPORATIONS, STATISTICS
OF INCOME FOR 1930
On pages 29 and 30 of Statistics of Income for 1930, the total num-ber of consolidated returns filed by concerns classified as "Manu-facturing—Stone, clay, and glass products" is shown as 136 and thenumber of those showing no net income is given as 65. Due toincorrect industrial classification of certain returns, these figures wereunderstated and should be 147 and 76, respectively. Incorrectclassification also obtained with respect to the number of consolidatedreturns filed by concerns classified as "Finance—Banking, insurance,real estate, stock and bond brokers, etc.," and the total number ofreturns is erroneously shown as 1,982, and the number of returnsshowing no net income as 1,161, whereas these figures should havebeen 1,971 and 1,150, respectively. The financial data reported onthese returns are relatively unimportant and have little effect uponthe totals of the several financial items appearing for each of theindustrial groups concerned. Consequently, the revision whichshould be made due to the errors referred to has not been carriedthrough for any item other than number of returns.
CONSOLIDATED RETURNS (CORPORATION RETURNS)
There were 8,495 consolidated income-tax returns filed for 1931for affiliated corporations, as against 8,951 for 1930. As providedby section 141 (d), Revenue Act of 1928, applicable to the taxableyear 1929 and subsequent taxable years, a consolidated return maybe filed where one or more chains of corporations are connectedthrough stock ownership with a common parent corporation, at least95 percent of the stock of each of the corporations (except thecommon parent) being owned directly by one or more of the othercorporations, and the common parent corporation owning directlyat least 95 percent of the stock of at least one of the other cor-porations. Of the consolidated returns for 1931, 2,698 showed netincome aggregating $1,846,305,490. The number of consolidatedreturns filed was about 1.65 percent of all corporation returns.However, the net income reported in consolidated returns was 50.13percent of the net income of all returns showing net income, andthe tax 54.27 percent of the total tax for all corporations.
Presented below are tables prepared from the consolidated returnsshowing the returns distributed by major industrial groups, by netincome and deficit classes, and by number of subsidiaries. In inter-preting the data contained in these tables it is essential to note thatthe industrial classification is based on the predominant business ofthe affiiliated corporations for which the consolidated return is filed.If it were possible to segregate the income of the subsidiary or affiliatedconcerns, the data for such concerns might fall in industrial divisionsother than the ones in which they are here included. Attention isalso directed to the fact that the data for consolidated returns areincluded in the general tables of corporation income throughoutthis report.

STATISTICS OF INCOME 4 9
ESTATE-TAX RETURNS
The following tables are compiled from estate-tax returns filedduring the year ended December 31, 1932. They do not representthe estates of persons who died within this period, since the returnsare not required to be filed until one year after the date of death, andunder certain conditions further extensions of time are granted forfiling. Under the Revenue Acts of 1926 and 1928 a return mustbe filed in the case of every resident decedent the value of whoseestate (value at time of his death of all personal property, tangibleor intangible, wherever situated, and all real property situatedin the United States) exceeds $100,000. For deaths prior to Feb-ruary 26, 1926 (10:25 a.m., Washington, D.C., time), and subse-quent to June 6, 1932 (5 p.m., Washington, D.C., time), a returnis required if the gross estate exceeds $50,000 in value at date ofdeath. A return must be filed in the case of every nonresidentdecedent who owned property situated in the United States, regard-less of value.
The tax is imposed not upon the property or upon any particularlegacy, devise, or distributive share but upon its transfer. The rela-tionship of the beneficiary to the decedent has no bearing upon thetax liability. The estate tax is not an inheritance tax, althoughpopularly referred to as such, the distinction being that the estatetax is based on an estate in its entirety rather than on the distributiveshare.
The gross estate as defined by statute includes certain transfers,such as those made in contemplation of death or intended to takeeffect at or after death. The net estate is the amount of the grossestate less the sum of authorized deductions, and in the case ofresident decedents a specific exemption of $100,000 for individualswho died from February 26, 1926, to June 6, 1932. Estate-taxreturns filed under the Revenue Acts of 1926 and 1928 are alloweda tax credit not to exceed 80 percent of the total Federal estatetax for estate, inheritance, legacy, or succession taxes paid to anyof the several States, Territories, or the District of Columbia. Underthe Revenue Act of 1924 the tax credit was limited to 25 percentof the total Federal estate tax. Prior to the Revenue Act of 1924this tax credit was not allowed.
The tables are based on the returns as filed and prior to any adjust-ments that may be determined upon investigation and audit. Thetax liability reported does not correspond with the actual receiptsof taxes during the period for the reason that payments may bemade at a later date than the filing of the return, and for the reasonthat field investigation and office audit may disclose deficiency taxesor excess payments which are not reflected in these tables. Forstatistical purposes the returns are classified by the size of the netestate corresponding to the successive tax brackets specified in theRevenue Act of 1926.

1 Required to file income-tax returns for all income derived from sources within the United States, regardless of amount unless total tax has been paid at source.2 (a) Under the Revenue Acts of 1913, 1916, and 1917, individuals were required to file returns on a calendar year basis, while under the Revenue Act of 1918 and subsequent years,
returns are permitted for a fiscal year other than that ending Dec. 31. (b) For the years 1913,1914, and 1915, citizens or residents of the United States whose net income was less than$20,000 and for whom a full return was made by withholding agents, were not required to file returns, (c) For 1921 and subsequent years citizens deriving a large portion of theirgross income from sources within a possession of the United States are required to file returns for all income derived from sources within the United States or income from sourceswithin or without the United States received within the United States, regardless of amount. (See sec. 262 of the Revenue Acts of 1921, 1924, and 1926, and sec. 251 of the RevenueActs of 1928 and 1932.) (d) For 1925 and subsequent years American citizens who are nonresidents of the United States for more than 6 months of the year are not required to reportearned income from sources without the United States and are not required to file returns unless their gross income, exclusive of earned income from sources without the UnitedStates, exceeds $5,000; or unless their net income, exclusive of earned income from sources without the United States, exceeds the amount indicated above under "Individuals requiredto file returns." (See also (c) above.) For 1932 and subsequent years income from sources without the United States does not include amounts paid by the United States or anyagency thereof. (See sec. 116 (a), Revenue Act of 1932.)
3 Not applicable to citizens deriving a large portion of their gross income from sources within a possession of the United States, for 1921 and subsequent years. Such citizens areentitled to the personal exemption and credit for dependents shown in this table for nonresident aliens, for 1921 and subsequent years.
4 Husband and wife each to file a return unless combined income is included in joint return.5 Net income means "statutory" net income, i.e., the excess of gross income over deductions as defined in the various revenue acts. Net income has been adjusted from time
to time as follows:(a) Amortization of buildings, machinery, equipment, or other facilities constructed or acquired on or after Apr. 6, 1917, for the production of articles contributing to the prose-
cution of the war is included to a reasonable amount in business deductions for 1918, 1919, 1920, and 1921.(b) Contributions to charitable and scientific organizations, etc., not exceeding 15 percent of the net income before deducting the contributions, are deducted for 1917 and
subsequent years. For unlimited deduction of contributions see sec. 214 (10), Revenue Acts of 1924 and 1926, and sec. 120, Revenue Acts of 1928 and 1932. .(c) Losses sustained in transactions entered into for profit but not connected with business or trade are not deductible for 1913 to 1915, inclusive. For 1916 and 1917 such losses
are deductible to the extent of the aggregate income from such transactions; for 1918 to 1931, inclusive, such losses are wiiolly deductible, excepting that for 1924 and subsequent yearsthe loss, if incurred through the sale of capital assets held for more than 2 years, is deductible from total tax, to the extent of 12M> percent of the loss. (See table C.) For 1932 andsubsequent years losses from sales or exchanges of stocks or bonds (other than capital assets held for more than 2 years, and other than bonds issued by a government or politicalsubdivision thereof) are allowed only to the extent of the gains from such sales or exchanges.
(d) Net loss for prior year resulting from the operation of any trade or business regularly carried on by the taxpayer: In the case of a net loss for any taxable year beginning afterOct. 31, 1918, and ending prior to Jan. 1, 1920, the Revenue Act of 1918 provides for the deduction of such loss from net income of the preceding year, a redetermination of taxes for thepreceding year being made. When the net loss exceeds the net income for the preceding year, the amount of such excess is to be deducted from the net income of the succeedingtaxable year. The Revenue Acts of 1921 to 1928, inclusive, provide that net loss in any year beginning after Dec. 31, 1920, may be deducted from the net income of the succeed-ing taxable year, and if such net loss exceeds the net income for the succeeding year, the amount of such excess is to be allowed in the next succeeding year. The Revenue Act of1932 provides that a net loss for the year 1930 and succeeding years shall be allowed as a deduction in computing net income for 1 succeeding taxable year only.
6 Net income subject to normal tax is all net income after deducting the sum of (a) personal exemption; (b) credit for dependents; (c) dividends on stock of domestic corporations(other than those deriving a large portion of their gross income from sources within a possession of the United States, 1921 and subsequent years, and other than China Trade Actcorporations, 1922 and subsequent years, and other than corporations exempt from tax for 1932 and subsequent years); (d) dividends on stock of foreign corporations receiving a certainamount of income from sources within the United States, 1913 and subsequent years; (e) income, the tax upon which has been paid or withheld for payment at the source of income forthe years 1913 to 1917, inclusive; and (/) interest not wholly tax exempt on United States obligations issued after Sept. 1, 1917.

Exemption prorated for period Mar. 1 to Dec. 31, 1913.8 For each dependent under 18 years of age or incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective.9 Nonresident aliens are allowed the personal exemption ($1,000 if single, $2,000 if married) and the credit for each dependent ($200) only when the country of which nonresident
alien is a citizen either imposes no income tax or allows similar credit to citizens of the United States not residing within such foreign country.10 Tax for 1923 reduced 25 percent by credit or refund under sec. 1200 (a) of the Revenue Act of 1924.11 For net incomes of $5,000 and over, personal exemption is $2,000.12 For 1922 and subsequent years, if nonresident alien is resident of contiguous country (Canada or Mexico), $400 credit allowed for each dependent.13 For 1922 and subsequent years alien residents of contiguous countries (Canada or Mexico) on net income attributable to compensation for labor or personal services actually

1 In excess of $3,000 for nonresident aliens.2 Nonresident aliens having business with invested capital reported only that proportion of invested capital which net income from sources within the United States was of the
entire net income.3 Deduction (not allowable to nonresident aliens), $6,000 plus an amount equal to the same percentage of invested capital for taxable year as the average annual pre-war income
was of pre-war invested capital (not less than 7 percent nor more than 9 percent). If not established during at least one whole year of the pre-war period, 8 percent. If, duringthe pre-war period the individual had a deficit or a very small income from business, or if invested capital cannot be determined, same percent as that of representative businesses.(See sec. 210, Revenue Act of 1917.)
4 Nonresident aliens were not allowed to deduct income taxes paid to foreign countries either as a tax credit or in general deductions for the years 1918, 1919, and 1920.5 Beginning with 1921 the credit cannot exceed the proportion of the total tax against which the credit is taken that the taxpayer's net income from sources without the United
States bears to the entire net income. This credit does not apply to nonresident aliens nor to citizens deriving a large portion of their gross income from sources within a posses-sion of the United States, but to such persons these taxes are allowable as a deduction from gross income, if imposed upon income from sources within the United States. For theyears 1921 to 1931, inclusive, the amount of income and profits taxes paid to foreign countries or United States possessions, in excess of that deducted as a tax credit, is permitted to beincluded in deductions against gross income.
6 Tax for 1923 reduced 25 percent by credit or refund under sec. 1200 (a) of the Revenue Act of 1924.7 For 1932 and subsequent years the taxpayer may elect to deduct the taxes paid to foreign countries or United States possessions (with certain limitations) from the total tax
liability, or to include the entire amount of the taxes paid to foreign countries or United States possessions in deductions against gross income. (See sec. 131, Revenue Act of 1932.)too

1 All corporations are required to file returns regardless of amount of net income or loss, except thosespecifically exempt, such as mutual, cooperative, fraternal, civic, charitable, scientific, etc., not operatingfor profit. Under the Revenue Act of 1909, corporations were required to file returns on a calendar yearbasis; under subsequent revenue acts corporations were permitted to file returns on a fiscal year basis,other than the calendar year; except that under the act of 1921 and subsequent acts, life insurance com-panies were required to file on a calendar year basis in accordance with the State laws regulating insurancecompanies. Foreign corporations are required to file income tax returns for all income derived from sourceswithin the United States regardless of amount. From Jan. 1, 19]8, to Dec. 31, 1921, personal service cor-porations were treated as partnerships. Prior and subsequent to said dates, such corporations were taxedas other corporations.
2 Net income means "statutory " net income, i.e., the excess of gross income over deductions as defined inthe various revenue acts. Foreign corporations report only net income from sources within the UnitedStates; for 1921 and subsequent years domestic corporations deriving a large portion of their gross incomefrom sources within a possession of the United States report only income from sources within the UnitedStates or income from sources within or without the United States received within the United States (seesec. 262 (b) of the Revenue Acts ot 1921,1924, and 1926 and sec. 251 (b) of the Revenue Acts of 1928 and 1932).Net income has been adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) Amortization of buildings, machinery, equipment, or other facilities constructed or acquired on orafter Apr. 6, 1917, for the production of articles contributing to the prosecution of the war, is included to areasonable amount in business deductions for 1918, 1919, 1920, and 1921.
(6) Dividends on stock of domestic corporations (other than those deriving a large portion of their grossincome from sources within a possession of the United States, 1921 and subsequent years, and other thanChina Trade Act corporations, 1922 and subsequent years, and other than corporations exempt from tax for1932 and subsequent years) were entirely tax exempt under the Revenue Acts of 1909,1918, and subsequentyears, as well as dividends on stock of foreign corporations receiving a certain amount of income from sourceswithin the United States under the Revenue Acts of 1909, 1918, and subsequent years.

(c) Losses sustained during a taxable year and not compensated for by insurance or otherwise, are entirelydeductible, except that for 1932 and subsequent years losses from sales or exchanges of stocks or bonds (otherthan capital assets and other than bonds issued by a government or political subdivision thereof) areallowed only to the extent of the gains from such sales or exchanges.
(d) Net loss for prior year resulting from the operation of any trade or business regularly carried on by thetaxpayer: In the case of a net loss for any taxable year beginning after Oct. 31,1918, and ending prior to Jan.1,1920, the Revenue Act of 1918 provides for the deduction of such loss from the net income of the precedingyear, a redetermination of taxes for the preceding year being made. When the net loss exceeds the netincome for the preceding year the amount of such excess is to be deducted from the net income of the suc-ceeding taxable year. The Revenue Acts of 1921 to 1928, inclusive, provide that net loss in any year begin-ning after Dec. 31, 1920, may be deducted from the net income of the succeeding taxable year, and if suchnet loss exceeds the net income for the succeeding year, the amount of such excess is to be allowed in thenext succeeding year. The Revenue Act of 1932 provides that a net loss for the year 1930 and succeedingyears shall be allowed as a deduction in computing net income for one succeeding taxable year only.
(e) For insurance companies, see special provisions in the various revenue acts.3 The $3,000 credit not allowable to foreign corporations.4 Invested capital within the meaning of the statute is the capital actually paid in to the corporation by
the stockholders, including surplus and undivided profits (exclusive of that for the current year), stocks,bonds, and other obligations (other than obligations of the United States) the dividends or interest fromwhich are not included in computing net income, and excluding inadmissible assets. (See art. 831 of Regu-lations 45, relating to the Revenue Act of 1918.) For 1917, foreign corporations reported that proportion ofinvested capital which net income from sources within the United States was of the entire net income.For the years 1918 to 1921, inclusive, it was not necessary for foreign corporations to report invested capital,and for the year 1921 it was not necessary for corporations deriving a large portion of their gross incomefrom sources within a possession of the United States to report invested capital.

2 For the years 1918 to 1921, inclusive, the war-profits and excess-profits tax of foreign corporations, and for1921, the war-profits and excess-profits tax of corporations deriving a large portion of their gross income fromsources within a possession of the United States is computed by comparison with representative corpora-tions whose invested capital can be satisfactorily determined and which are engaged in a like or similartrade or business and similarly circumstanced (see sec. 328, Revenue Acts of 1918 and 1921). See note 4,preceding page.
3 Foreign corporations were not allowed to deduct income taxes paid to foreign countries either as a taxcredit or in general deductions for the years 1918, 1919, and 1920.

This credit does not apply to foreigncorporations or to domestic corporations deriving a large portion of their gross income from sources withina possession of the United States, but to such corporations these taxes are allowable as a deduction fromgross income if imposed upon income from sources within the United States. For the years 1921 to 1931,inclusive, the amount of taxes paid to foreign countries or United States possessions in excess of that de-ducted as a tax credit is permitted to be included in deductions against gross income.
