If you’re like most non-economists, you could probably use a helping hand finding and using basic tax data. When we launched our new “Tax Data” section of our website last year, our goal was to do just that, providing quick-and-easy access to basic facts about government spending and taxes. If you haven’t browsed our Tax Data section, now’s a good time to do so. We just updated several of our most popular data sets—all available in PDF, Excel and FlashPaper formats. Why not have a look and let us know what you think?
