Tax Development Journal Launches
Welcome to the Cal State University, Northridge Tax Development Journal: a new and exciting online tax journal!
The inaugural cohort in our M.S. in Taxation Program was remarkable in many ways including its innovation, drive and initiative. A few months after the first cohort was launched, administration received an email from two students in the program inquiring about whether the program would support a student-run tax journal.
We are pleased to report that in July 2009, the Tax Development Journal published its first edition. Co-editors Leslie Sobol '09 and Robert Hymers '09 worked with Professor Sharyn M. Fisk, who serves as the editor-in-chief, to launch the student-run journal. To keep the journal relevant and timely, Sobol and Hymers designed the journal so each year a new team of M.S. in Taxation students can assume responsiblity for the online publication.
The Tax Development Journal sets a new standard in practitioner based tax scholarship as an innovative forum for intellectual discourse on emerging issues for tax practitioners and policy makers. The journal uniquely combines tax expertise with scholarly discourse to provide timely, insightful, and important contributions to scholarly discussion in a broad array of topical tax areas.
The inaugural Fall 2009 issue includes the following articles:
"Drop and Swap: Can You Relax If The Police Aren't Looking For You?" by David R. Chan
"Section 6676 Erroneous Claim For Refund or Credit Penalty: The Penalty Has No Reasonable Basis" by Sharyn M. Fisk, Esq. & Heather Kim Lee, Esq.
