Tax Notes
Tax Notes is a specialized periodical covering United States federal, state, and international tax law issues, reporting on developments in IRS procedures, CBO analyses, Congressional legislation, and decisions by federal courts such as the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and the United States Tax Court.
Tax Notes provides news, analysis, and commentary on directives from the IRS, rulemaking by the Treasury Department, and enforcement actions involving the Department of Justice. Coverage includes legislative activity in the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, international developments at the OECD and European Commission, and treaty disputes under the multilateral tax treaties and bilateral agreements between the United States and partner states. The publication tracks decisions from the Southern District of New York and appellate rulings from circuits such as the Second Circuit.
Founded in the mid-20th century, Tax Notes has chronicled major statutory changes from enactments like the Internal Revenue Code amendments, through landmark cases such as Commissioner v. Glenshaw Glass Co., and policy shifts initiated under administrations of presidents including Dwight D. Eisenhower, Lyndon B. Johnson, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. The periodical reported on reform efforts tied to commissions such as the Tax Reform Act debates and international initiatives like the BEPS Project coordinated by the OECD. It has tracked enforcement priorities from IRS commissioners including Charles Rossotti, Douglas Shulman, and John Koskinen and legislative leaders such as William Roth and Daniel Patrick Moynihan.
Tax Notes issues appear in print and digital formats, including weekly magazines, daily newsletters, and specialized supplements on subjects such as transfer pricing, international taxation, and state tax developments. It publishes columns and analysis alongside transcripts of testimony before bodies like the Joint Committee on Taxation and reports on regulatory notices from the Federal Register and rulings from the Internal Revenue Service Chief Counsel.
Editorial leadership has included senior editors and publishers with backgrounds at institutions such as Georgetown University Law Center, Harvard Law School, New York University School of Law, and Columbia Law School. Contributors have ranged from former officials at the Internal Revenue Service and Department of the Treasury to academics affiliated with University of Chicago Law School, Yale Law School, Stanford Law School, and practitioners from firms like Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, Baker McKenzie, Deloitte, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Ernst & Young. Frequent commentators include scholars who have testified before panels convened by the United States Senate Committee on Finance and the United States House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
Tax Notes is cited in legal scholarship published in reviews at Harvard Law Review, Yale Law Journal, and Columbia Law Review, and it is referenced in briefs filed with the United States Supreme Court and lower federal courts. Its reporting has been used by policymakers in debates over measures such as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and proposals advanced by presidential administrations including Jimmy Carter-era tax policy discussions and the Clinton administration's tax initiatives. Trade groups like the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Tax Executives Institute monitor its coverage, and it is a resource for accounting firms, law firms, and academic centers such as the Brookings Institution and the Urban–Brookings Tax Policy Center.
Critics have questioned potential biases in coverage related to relationships with large accounting firms such as KPMG and Ernst & Young and lobbying entities including PricewaterhouseCoopers' advocacy arms. Debates have arisen over perceived editorial stances during high-profile controversies involving figures like Aaron M. Zwick and corporate disputes tied to enforcement actions involving companies such as Apple Inc., Amazon, and Google LLC. Others have critiqued its editorial approach to coverage of international initiatives like the OECD's BEPS measures and disputes around Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act implementation.

Institutional subscriptions serve libraries at universities such as Georgetown University, Harvard University, and Yale University, and corporate access is purchased by firms including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and multinational consultancies.
