It’s that time of year again, a time that many, if not most, Americans deeply dread: April 15, the U.S. federal income tax deadline. With that day now upon us, the I&I/TIPP Poll asked Americans whether they pay too much in federal taxes each year.
The answer came back loud and very clear: Yes.
Specifically, the online national I&I/TIPP Poll of 1,432 voters asked the following question: “On the topic of taxes, do you consider the amount of federal income tax you pay as …”, followed by five possible answers: “Too high,” “about right,” “too low,” “don’t pay taxes,” and “not sure.” The poll, taken from April 3-5, has a +/-2.7 percentage point margin of error.
To anyone following today’s tax debate, the answers will come as little surprise: 56% of Americans believe they pay too much in taxes, while less than half (26%) say what they pay is “about right.” Only 3% say their taxes are too low, with another 7% saying they pay no taxes at all. And 9% say they aren’t sure.
