Tax Analysts Award of Distinction  

Tax Analysts is proud to introduce the Awards of Distinction, a new annual recognition program honoring individuals and organizations who have made a transformative contribution to the field of taxation.  

The Awards of Distinction will spotlight innovation, impact, and integrity across three categories:  

• U.S. State and Local Taxation  

• U.S. Federal Taxation  

• International/Cross-Border Taxation 

The Tax Analysts Award of Distinction is an honor presented annually to an individual, team, or organization that has made an outstanding contribution to international, U.S. federal, and U.S. state and local taxation. These awards recognize those who have shaped tax policy, improved tax administration, or deepened public understanding of how taxation affects lives at all levels.   

Whether through innovative legislation, groundbreaking litigation, pioneering research, or courageous public service, this award is a tribute to those who make tax systems more equitable, effective, and transparent.
