Title: Average Marginal Income Tax Rates by Adjusted Gross Income and Filing Status
Authors: Steven Maguire, Government and Finance Division 
Abstract: This report presents average marginal income tax rates by filing status and detailed adjusted gross income (AGI) class for the 2001 tax year, the most recent year for which data are available. The source of data is the 2001 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) public use micro-sample. A general finding is that the average marginal tax rates by filing status begin to converge with AGI above $75,000. Below that amount, married taxpayers filing joint returns had significantly lower average marginal tax rates.
