Professor Kristin Hickman explains the basic reasons why tax law matters to the average citizen. The IRS is one of the only federal government agencies that almost every citizen interacts with on a regular basis.

Professor Kristin E. Hickman is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor and Harlan Albert Rogers Professor in Law at the University of Minnesota Law School.
As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speaker.
