Iowa Income Tax Returns Show 1921 Decline and High Earners
A summarized report details Iowa 1921 income tax filings. It shows 111,483 reporters with net income totaling $213,762,985 and tax paid of $5,837,6y. The year saw far fewer returns than 1920, with a 29.21 percent drop and a 50.32 percent fall in net income compared to the prior year. Only seven taxpayers reported $70,000 to $80,000, and one reported $80,000 to $90,000. The lowest point reflects a farming state in a low mood, with many heads of families earning under $2,000 annually. National figures show 6,462,176 returns with net income $19,577,212,428 and average net return of $107.98. The article traces growth of returns from 1916 to 1921 and notes the 1921 upper-end single taxpayer hit $150,000 in Iowa.
