Tax Expert Today Research publishes original IRS data analysis: studies built directly from primary sources, mainly the IRS Data Book, Statistics of Income files, and Treasury oversight reports, with every figure computed by the firm, cross checked across source editions, and documented in a methodology note. No figure in these reports is quoted from secondary coverage. Reports are updated annually as the IRS releases new data, at the same web address, so each report reflects the latest available fiscal year.
Why Original IRS Data Analysis?
Most tax content explains rules. IRS data analysis measures outcomes: how often the IRS actually accepts an offer in compromise, how many penalties it abates, how much income moves between states. The IRS publishes these figures in raw statistical tables that few people read, so turning them into verified, readable findings produces numbers that only a handful of sources ever publish, and fewer still with the sources and calculations shown. Each report states its sources and calculations so that any journalist, researcher, or taxpayer can reproduce every figure.

The Offer in Compromise Report
The IRS accepted 14.1 percent of offers in compromise in fiscal year 2025, the lowest rate in at least a decade. Applications rose 28.6 percent in two years while acceptances fell 57 percent, and total accepted dollars fell below $100 million for the first time in the ten year series. Built from eleven editions of the IRS Data Book, FY2016 to FY2025.
In preparation: The Florida Wealth Migration Report, an analysis of IRS Statistics of Income migration files measuring how much adjusted gross income moved into Florida, and into Collier County specifically, in the most recent filing year.
