2010 IRS Research Conference
Call For Papers

The Internal Revenue Service will hold the 2010 IRS Research Conference in June or July, in Washington, D.C.  The exact date and location will be announced at a later date.

We invite you to propose an original paper for the 2010 Conference.  (Papers should be unique for this conference, not identical to papers presented or published elsewhere.) General topics of interest include tax compliance, taxpayer burden, improving tax administration, and the nature and behavior of the taxpayer population.

We welcome proposals about:

•  identifying compliance problems and promoting compliance
• improving taxpayer service
• the impact of legal and regulatory changes on tax administration
• the effects of the globalization on taxation
• the impact of the global economic downturn on tax administration
• the role of third parties such as paid preparers
• comparative tax administration studies
• research methodologies

Proposals are welcome from government and non-government researchers from the U.S. and abroad. One author per paper will receive funding for travel and those who are not government employees also may be eligible to receive honoraria.

Conference papers will be due in May. All presenters will be expected to submit final copies of their papers for inclusion in a published conference proceedings volume.  Authors will have until August to revise and resubmit a final draft of their papers for publication.

For proposed papers, please submit:

• A title
• An abstract not to exceed two pages in length
• Names and affiliations for all authors
• An e-mail address and phone number for at least one contact author 

Proposals for complete sessions of three papers, a session organizer, and a discussant are also invited.

Submitted proposals may also be considered for a poster session.

The deadline for proposals is December 1, 2009.

Please e-mail your submission and please put “proposed paper” in the subject line.
