Abstract:
|
Nonsampling errors are created when transcribing, processing, and editing data from IRS tax forms. This paper will examine one type of nonsampling error associated with Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return. A measurement error model will be used to estimate editor error from data collected by the Statistics of Income Division using a quality review sample. Statistics such as the net difference rate, index of inconsistency, and editor design effect will be presented and discussed.
