Roxanne Bland

Kiplinger tax writer Roxanne Bland is a thirty-year veteran in state tax policy.

Over the years, she has reported on judicial developments in state tax law at the U.S. Supreme Court. She also assisted states in educating their congressional delegations about the impact of federal tax proposals on the balance of fiscal federalism between states and the federal government. Roxanne’s work also took her into the international arena, representing states’ interests in maintaining their tax authority during federal international trade negotiations.

Before joining Kiplinger, where she helps readers navigate federal and state tax developments, Roxanne contributed to Tax Notes State, a national publication addressing cutting-edge tax issues. She earned her A.B. from Smith College and her J.D. from Tulane School of Law.
