This semiannual publication contains United States-level projections of the number of tax returns for Fiscal Years 2023–2030 of approximately 50 different individual, business, and tax-exempt return types (e.g., Forms 1040, 1120, 941, and 990) to be filed by major return categories and by IRS business operating divisions.

4. 2022 Program Documentation: Data Items by Forms and Schedules (Publication 5384)
The 2022 Program Documentation: Data Items by Forms and Schedules (Publication 5384) is now available on SOI’s Tax Stats webpage. This publication contains the federal tax forms, schedules, and information documents selected for SOI’s Tax Year 2022 studies. It is organized in two parts: SOI works in collaboration with data users inside and outside of the federal government to develop the information collected for each SOI study. SOI bases most of its programs on stratified samples of returns for which data are collected prior to IRS audits; therefore, the data represent information as originally reported by taxpayers. Each tax form included in the SOI program is represented in this volume. The specific data items captured for each study are indicated on facsimiles of the forms and schedules. Data from certain forms and schedules are collected periodically, rather than annually. For this reason, the contents of this publication will vary somewhat from year to year.
5. Foreign-Controlled Domestic Corporations, Tax Year 2020
Tables for the Tax Year (TY) 2020 Foreign-Controlled Domestic Corporation study are now available on SOI’s Tax Stats webpage. The tables, based on data from the Form 1120 series, include balance sheets, income statements, and tax-related data for domestic corporations with 50-percent-or-more stock ownership by a single foreign “person.” The data are classified by industry group, country of ownership, age of the corporations, and new for this year, sizes of total assets and business receipts. There were 137,000 federal income tax returns filed by foreign-controlled domestic corporations (FCDCs) for TY 2020. These returns accounted for just 2.1 percent of all corporate returns filed for that year. However, the FCDCs were often large companies, with a combined $14.9 trillion of assets and $5.5 trillion of receipts. They reported 12.0 percent of the assets and 16.4 percent of the receipts of all corporations. Manufacturing companies accounted for $2.4 trillion of the FCDC receipts. Domestic companies with Japanese owners produced $0.8 trillion of receipts, followed closely by owners from the United Kingdom and the Netherlands ($0.7 trillion each). Established corporations (those incorporated in 2017 or before) produced $5.2 trillion of receipts. Large corporations, each with $2.5 billion or more of assets and those each with $1.0 billion or more or business receipts, accounted for $3.6 trillion and $4.1 trillion of receipts, respectively.
