Introduction ....................................................... I
Annual returns filed in compliance with Federal income tax laws of-
fer a unique source of f inancial information. Statistics of Income- 1954,
Corporation Income Tax Returns is the 39th volweinanannual series de-
signed to present relatively complete,coordinated and consistentlyclas-
sified statistics from data submittedoncorporation income tax returns.
All domestic and resident foreign corporations,except certain-nonprofit
organizations,are required to file income tax returns which show income
by source, deductions, credits, and Federal income and profits taxes.
Other items of importance, particularly assets and liabilities, and
dividends paid, are also reported.
The first section ofthis report summarizes the statistical measure-
ments provided.and the corporation income tax return categories used in
compiling them.
The second section contains brief descriptions of changes in law
which affect the tabulations and an explanation ofthe terms and methods
employed in preparing the 1954 corporation statistics.
The third section of this report presents tax year 1954 data on in-
come, deductions, assets, liabilities, tax, and dividends paid, classi-
fied by type of industry, size of total assets, and other pertinent
classifications. The balance sheet data are shown in separate tables
with related items of income, deductions, and tax.
The fourth section consists of historical data selected from the tabu-
lations compiled for the years 1945-1954. Comparability of historical
data is discussed in the accompanying text.
The sixth section of the report givesa synopsis of Federal tax laws
affecting corporations. The synopsis tables show tax bases, rates, and
other provisions useful in studying the statistics.
Facsimiles of the 1954 return forms onwhich corporate data were re-
ported are provided in the final section of the report.
Some ofthe data presented inthis more detailed complete report were
available in May 1957 in the Preliminary Report, Statisti'cs of Income-
1954, Corporation Income Tax Returns.
The complete report, Statistics of Income-1954, Corporation Income
Tax Returns, introduces new methods of presenting these statistics. Prin-
cipal features of the new presentation are the addition of a uSer~s guide
to the subjects and categories of returns found in the 1954 tabulations
(see. 1),the placement in the 1954 ~able section of many of the special
tabulations formerly incorporated withthe explanatory text material,and
the independent numbering of tabulations limited to data from returns
with net income which were formerly shown as Part II of similar tabula-
tions prepared from all active corporation returns.

5. SOURCE BOOK OF STATISTICS OF INCOME,
1926-1954
The Source Book consists of a series of unpublished volumes containing
tabulations of f inancial information from income ani profits tax returns,
by more detailed classifications than in the published reports, Statis-
tics of Income. The Source Book volumes am maintained in the Statistics
Division of the Internal Revenue Serviceand are available for research
purposesto officials of the FederalState, and other governmental units
and to qualified representatives of accredited organizations. Per-
mission to copy data from the Source Book may be obtained upon presen-
tation of a written request addressed to the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.
The corporation data in the Source Book are from the income and
profits tax returns for 1926 through 1951 and 1953 through 1954. As an
aid to acceleration of the published data, the Source Book was not pre-
pared for 1952 data. The data are tabulated in aggregate (1) for all
returns and (2) for returns with balance sheets,also segregated in both
instances as to returns with net income and returns with no net income.
For the years 1932-34,tabulations of data from consolidated returns
are also shown. A considerable number of corporations filing consoli-
dated returns for 1932 and 1933 were denied this privilege for taxable
years beginning after December 31, 1933, by section 141 of the Revenue
Act of 1934, which limited the filing of consolidated returns to common
carriers by railroad and their related holding and leasing companies.
These tabulations were made to show the shift effected by this provision
of the Revenue Act of 1934 on data from the returns for 1934 as com-
pared with corresponding items from the returns for prior years. (Be-
ginning in 1942, the privilege of filing consolidated returns is again
extended, in general, to all corporations.)
Beginning with 1951,a probability sample has been used as the basis
of the tabulated data. Description of the sample and limitations of
data for each year may be found in the published volume for the year.
A summary description of the data contained in the Source Book is
presented in Charts I and II. The first chart shows tle years and clas-
sifications for which the items are available and the second is a de-
tailed presentation of the industries for which the items are available
in the major group tables and in the minor group tables. By use of these
two charts one can quickly determine whether or not the desired data
are available in the Source Book. For example: To determine the avail-
ability of figures representing gross sales of anthracite coal mining
companies for the years 1926 through 1951 and 1953 through 1954, the
first chart shows that gross sales will be found for the years 1926
through 1951 and 1953.through 1954 for major and minor industrial groups;
the second chart (items 17-19, under Nining and quarrying") shows that
anthracite mining is included with bituminous, etc.,for the years 1926-
27 but is tabulated separately for 1928-51 and 1953-54.
