The chart above is from the Joint Economic Committee’s (JEC) report Overview of the Federal Tax System As In Effect for 2008, showing the distribution of taxpayers (including nonfilers and dependent filers) by marginal Federal income tax rate (MTR). The JCT staff estimates that approximately 62 million “taxpayers,” or 37% of the 170 million taxpayers, will have no tax liability in 2008 and generally have a marginal tax rate of zero.

Q: Are you still a “taxpayer” if you don’t pay taxes?
