The Kogod Tax Policy Center is an extension of the program and offers students additional educational opportunities outside of the classroom.

The center produces research reports and sponsors workshops focused on today's key tax policy and compliance issues. Students are encouraged to utilize the center's reports, attend workshops, and engage with researchers as part of the MST curriculum.

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.

You'll also meet and network with high-profile guest speakers throughout the program. Past class lecturers have included RSN partner, David Silver, IRS agents, and taxation appeals officers.
