The IRS released information about filing statistics for 2007
Over 4.5 million returns were filed in 2007, which included an adjusted gross income of $200,000 or more.
This same report said that individual taxpayers, who itemized, reported $59 billion in deductions for noncash charitable contributions.
This means, American taxpayers are mainstream when it comes to charitable contributions. US taxpayers get it! Give and you shall receive.
It will be interesting to see the statistics for 2008 through 2009. However, we will have to wait for the IRS to release these figures.

About Me
- YouTube Channel
- I am a telecommunications engineer by trade, graduated DeVry - Chicago Campus, and worked WNUS-Chicago, KPIX San Francisco, Hewlett Packard and United Airlines - SFO. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lived in Europe, Africa for a short time, Mexico and South America. Early Childhood Education was my second career and my most rewarding. From vocational instructor at the college level to my own private preschool and kindergarten, this is the career that touched my heart. And now, even though I am retired and traveling the world, I still find the need to provide value for young children around the globe. I am the author of Travel the World on Social Security and several short fictional reads in the Kindle Store. My favorite Kindle eBooks are the series of educational books for kids ages 3 to 9 years of age. I have included each of the topics necessary for a young child to do well in Kindergarten. My eBooks are best viewed on a large-screen TV. The pages come to life, and children enjoy the enormous size of viewing their eBook on the big screen.
