SPMSTTAX is a 6-digit numeric variable.
Description
SPMSTTAX_19RYALT measures a family's total state tax liability and is used to calculate the Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). This variable is measured for the SPM family unit.
This variable is an alternative version of SPMSTTAX that was re-released for the 2020 ASEC which reflects methodological changes first introduced with the 2021 CPS ASEC sample. For more information, see our documentation on the re-release of the 2019 SPM research file in the 2020 ASEC that describes methodological improvements that impact SPM resource and threshold variables. The SPM reference year is the calendar year to which the income, taxes, transfers, expenses, and poverty thresholds apply.
SPMSTTAX_19RYALT is expressed in dollars of the given year; users can adjust for inflation using Consumer Price Index adjustment factors.
