The 17th Annual IRS-TPC Joint Research Conference on Tax Administration is co-sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service and the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. This conference serves as a platform to highlight research on tax compliance and administration, fostering dialogue among IRS researchers, IRS and State tax administrators, international tax experts, academic researchers, federal agencies, and private sector experts. Key areas of interest include measuring and influencing taxpayer compliance, estimating taxpayer compliance costs (burden), tax complexity, improving tax administration through various means (service, enforcement, systems, third parties, changes to tax law or regulations), and understanding the nature and behavior of the taxpayer population.
