Sr. Tax Specialist

Tax Specialists with the IRS assume a number of key responsibilities. They provide technical tax guidance, tax-related accounting consultation and other services related to pre-filing and filing processes; conduct surveys, studies and focus groups to determine the effectiveness of existing agency tax-specific products, services and communications; and customize communication materials to assist and influence voluntary compliance. Duties also include serving as a liaison among IRS functions involving compliance outreach activities, education and volunteer programs; and providing support to walk-in taxpayers during the filing season.

If your college studies included 12 semester hours of accounting courses, then a career as a Senior Tax Specialist may be for you. Based on your education and experience, your entry grade can be from a GS-9 to as high as a GS-13.
