According to the most recent production figures from the Treasury, about 45% of all bills printed in recent years are $1 notes.
Because there's no way to accurately determine how many bills are lost, damaged, or destroyed over time it's not easy to project from that figure to get an idea of how many $1 bills are actually in circulation at any given time. However on average, worn dollar bills that are officially redeemed for replacement are about a year and a half old while higher denominations can stay in circulation for as much as a couple of decades. That fact implies ones represent fewer than 45% of all bills actually in circulation because more of them are simply replacing older notes.
The need for more ones led to construction of an extra printing facility in Fort Worth because the main BEP plant in Washington couldn't handle the load. It's also a major justification for replacing the $1 bill with a coin as has happened in most other countries years ago. Estimates are that savings might exceed a billion dollars a year both to the government and to businesses. However, that decision is mired in politics and may not be resolved for quite some time.

Why do they print 2 dollar bills is this a form of taxation without you knowing it?
They print $2 bills to use as currency, just like printing $1, $5, $20, $50, and $100 bills. All fiat (paper money not backed by gold/silver/some other commodity) ends up being a form of taxation because with each new bill made, the existing ones are worth less, yet the government can pay its contracts denominated in dollars for free. But $2 bills are such a small percentage of bills in circulation that it is no more a form of taxation than printing $1 or $100 bills.
