• I have a really cool idea to improve the IRS Careers website. Who should I contact?

    Just talk to one of our many content designers. Although we’re sorry we can’t help you with all of the questions you may have about our website, we’ll gladly listen to your suggestions about ways we can do a better job of giving you the information you need about working here at the IRS.

  • I saw an ad for IRS positions in my area. The ad gave a phone number to call. When I called it, they said I need to pay money to take a test to be eligible for an IRS job. Is this legitimate?

    You never have to pay a fee to apply for an IRS job.

    From time to time, however, you may see ads advising you to call for an application form and free government job information. These ads may claim that — in exchange for a payment or fee — they’ll send you the information you need for a position with the IRS, including how to test and score well. Some ads even claim to "guarantee" you will get a full-time permanent position with benefits, or they’ll refund your money.

  • If I don’t get a job I apply for, should I just give up on the idea of working at the IRS?

    Not at all. If we’ve determined that you were eligible for the position, but you simply weren’t hired for a specific vacancy, try again. There may have been so many applicants for that specific position that we could not hire everyone that was qualified.

  • How can I follow up on an application I’ve already submitted?

    You can check on your status by logging into www.USAJOBS.gov and selecting the "My USAJOBS" tab. Then select "Application" to track your online job application. Please note that you’ll need to provide your USAJOBS User ID and password to access the "Track Online Job Application" feature.

  • What is it really like to work at the IRS?

  • How can I determine if I’m qualified for a specific IRS job?

    Each IRS job has very specific qualifications that are explained in detail in each vacancy announcement. You should read the qualifications section very carefully to make sure that you meet all of the requirements for the position. General information about qualifications can be found throughout the IRS Careers Website and at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which maintains an extensive library of qualifications needed for all federal jobs. Here is a link to the Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions.

  • How do I apply for an IRS job?

    You can view all IRS jobs vacancies 24 hours a day here on our careers website. Select "CAREERS" from the menu options located at the top of this page to review all our current vacancies. Each vacancy has an "APPLY" button which allows you to apply for any of our vacancies via USAJOBS.

  • What types of jobs does the IRS offer?

    At the IRS, we have a variety of opportunities for all kinds of professionals, paraprofessionals, and administrative workers — plus seasonal jobs in many cities across the US.
