Accounting/Business/Finance

Tax Compliance Officer

IRS Tax Compliance Officers plan and conduct examinations and investigations of individual and business taxpayers. They analyze taxpayers’ financial condition and related operations. They also provide advice regarding tax law and tax-related accounting, and serve the nation by becoming the single point of contact to resolve both general and technical customer issues.

Successful candidates are usually business majors and others who possess six semester hours of accounting, or who can pass an accounting proficiency test. Tax Compliance Officers have a GS-5/7/9 career ladder — which means they can enter as a Grade 5 and advance to a Grade 9 without competition, and can later compete for higher grades. You’ll also be able to explore diverse career tracks and build upon your skills with best-in-class learning opportunities. You can continuously expand your talent and abilities in ways that will help you progress throughout your career.

At the IRS you will also enjoy a great work-life balance. You’ll have outstanding insurance and retirement benefits. And if you want to continue your formal education, take advantage of the IRS continuing education program.
