Who Doesn't Pay Federal Taxes?

46.4% of Households Paid No Federal Income Tax for 2011






But Nearly Two-Thirds of Households That Paid No Income Tax Paid Payroll Taxes






Who Paid Neither Income Nor Payroll Taxes?



-More than half are elderly

-Over one-third are nonelderly with income under $20,000

-Only about 1 in 20 is nonelderly with income over $20,000
