Tax Policy Center writings cover a wide range of tax issues in many forms, ranging from research reports in national journals and policy briefs of the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution to op eds in leading newspapers and testimony at Congressional hearings. The TPC also publishes its own products: Issues and Options policy briefs, Tax Policy Discussion Papers, and regular columns in Tax Notes magazine.

Featured Articles

"The Alternative Minimum Tax" reprints a Milken Review article that explains the history and effects of the alternative minimum tax, along with options to repeal or modify the tax.

"Reducing the Tax Gap:The Illusion of Pain-Free Deficit Reduction" defines the tax gap and provides estimates of its size. The paper concludes that any revenue gains from closing the gap would be modest and would have little effect on the budget deficit.
