Components of income and taxes are derived from "complete income reporters" only; see glossary. Note that all values have been rounded, and therefore some rounded values equal zero. When data are not reported or are not applicable (i.e., missing values), values are set to zero. Note also that some data are likely to have large sampling errors.
