Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy

We are a non-profit, non-partisan research and education organization that works solely on government taxation and spending policy issues. Since its founding in 1980, ITEP’s work has played a key role in educating the public and informing tax reform debates around the country. ITEP strives to present analyses describing potentially complicated tax issues in an accessible and straightforward format. Our research and analyses are relied on by the public and policymakers. ITEP researches and analyzes income tax proposals at the federal, state and local levels and makes recommendations as to its fairness. Our microsimulation tax model is uniquely capable of modelling taxes in every state.
