• Welcome to the American Taxation Association Section

    The ATA promotes education and research amongst academics with tax practitioner organizations.

The American Taxation Association (ATA) was founded in 1974 and joined the American Accounting Association (AAA) in 1978 as the Tax Section of the AAA.

The goals of the ATA are:

  • To foster the dissemination and publication of taxation materials.
  • To promote tax education in areas such as curricula, education-related materials, graduate tax programs, and accreditation.
  • To promote tax research in areas such as policy, law, planning, compliance, and economics.
  • To encourage the interaction of tax academics, practitioners, and professional organizations.
   We encourage you to consider catching up with your colleagues and attending an upcoming meeting.
