A national tax agency's data can be leveraged through proper identification, capture, processing, and integration for statistical research. Access and budgetary constraints can be transcended with a partnership of analysts. Important questions include what fosters entrepreneurship; why the nonprofit sector's increasingly significant; outsourcing and independent contractors; the effect of true effective tax rates on economic performance. Barriers to research include public and private researchers are inadequately aware of the roles each need to play; budgets and legal authorizations limit public analysts on access and data quality options; private researchers often do not know or appreciate these constraints and the vast data potential, including its limitations. Proposed measures might serve the research community's needs outside the historical zero sum game of access and barriers.
