Tables 5 and 6

[1] See Table 4 for the differences between "personal income" and "adjusted gross income" (AGI).

[2] Reflects changes made to data as part of the 2003 Comprehensive Revision of the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs). For details of this revision, see the Bureau of Economic Analysis website at http://www.bea.gov/bea/dn/ 2003benchmark/CR2003content.htm.

[3] Data for years 1987 and after are not comparable to pre-1987 data because of major changes in the definition of "adjusted gross income" (AGI).

SOURCE: Data on "personal income" and "adjusted gross income" (AGI) (per NIPA's) are from U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA's), Table 7.19: Comparison of Personal Income in the National Income and Product Accounts with Adjusted Gross Income as Published by the Internal Revenue Service. This table appears periodically in the Survey of Current Business and can also be accessed on-line at: http://www.bea.gov/beaJdn/nipaweb/ index.asp. Data on "adjusted gross income" (AGI) (per SOI) in Table 6 are from Statistics of Income-Individual Income Tax Returns, appropriate years.
