Codes for Creating TAXSIM Datasets from the SCF

We would like to collect high quality code to create Internet TAXSIM format files from commonly used survey datasets.

• SAS programs to convert various Survey of Consumer Finance public use files, contributed by Kevin Moore of the Federal Reserve Board.
  • 1983 SCF
  • 1986 is not available
  • 1989 SCF
  • 1992 SCF
  • 1995 SCF
  • 1998 SCF
  • 2001 SCF
  • 2004 SCF
  • 2007 SCF

There is also a Stata .do program to impute 1983 Charitable Giving from 1986 data. It is called by the 1983 SAS code.

If you would like to contribute code to this library, please contact me. We are particularly interested in PSID, NLSY, CPS, NMES, etc. Code may be SAS, Stata, Fortran, C, or other.
