The Kogod Tax Policy Center is a unique resource that offers information on how tax policy and compliance issues affect small businesses, entrepreneurs, and middle-income taxpayers. The Center promotes nonpartisan research and discussion about tax policy and tax compliance issues affecting those groups.
