The American Taxation Association (ATA) presents an annual award for a significant contribution to the tax literature. The award is given for research published during the three calendar years prior to the announcement year. The announcement and presentation of the award are made during the ATA luncheon at the annual American Accounting Association (AAA) meeting. The committee shall consist of a chair and seven to nine members, who are appointed annually by the ATA president.
All areas of tax research and all topics and methodologies are eligible for consideration. In addition, the published article, chapter, or book must meet the selection criteria.
Selection criteria
- Tax issues should be of major, rather than incidental, importance to the manuscript. The tax issues can be based on policy or planning factors or can be analytical or descriptive in nature, but tax issues should constitute the major focus of the research.
- The article, chapter, or book as a whole should make a significant contribution to the discipline in topic or methodology (or both). The overall validity and usefulness of the results will be considered.
- At least one author must be a current ATA member.
- All manuscripts published during the three calendar years prior to the ATA luncheon are eligible for the award, with three exceptions:
- The manuscript cannot be research that formed the basis for a dissertation receiving the ATA Dissertation Award. A manuscript that is an extension of the original dissertation research and, as such, is an independent manuscript is eligible for the award.
- The manuscript cannot have previously won the ATA Tax Manuscript Award.
- The manuscript cannot be authored or co-authored by a current member of the Manuscript Award Committee. While a manuscript authored or co-authored by a current committee member is eligible for nomination, such member must resign from the committee to have the paper considered for the award.
