The IRS estimates there were about 29 million nonfarm business tax returns last year. HOWEVER,note that more than half of these returns did not have employees; in fact, many of these returns are simply legal entities (shell companies) … with no significant assets or operations … that function as a tax maneuver. Thus, the 14+ million figure that you see on this page represent real companies with employees and physical business locations.
