Source: Internal IRS collection reports and IRS Data Book 2003.
Note that in March 2004 IRS revised its figures going back thru FY 2000.
Revised figures were as much as 300% different -- sometimes largers, sometimes smaller.
This suggests that these figures should be used with caution since revisions of these magnitudes suggest
underlying problems in IRS data systems.
