Description
Summary:This case is focused around a National Public Radio Planet Money podcast in which the journalists look into how the tax code may disproportionately disfavor Black Americans. This case focuses on the types of benefits and tax credits we choose to spend money on in the tax code as well as the ways in which the IRS audits returns. It highlights that, even though the IRS does not look at race as a criterion, the way the tax code is written and enforced may still be racially charged. This case can be discussed from multiple perspectives, including finance/accounting as well as a module in any course involving diversity, equity, and/or inclusion.
