Comparison of BEA Estimates of Personal Income and IRS Estimates of Adjusted Gross Income New Estimates for 2005 Revised Estimates for 2004

摘要

THE Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) annually publishes a comparison of BEA's measure of personal income and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) measure of adjusted gross income (AGI); both are widely used measures of household income. This comparison features the "AGI gap," which is the difference between BEA-derived estimates of adjusted gross income and the IRS estimate of adjusted gross income.
