Tax Examining
8 open positions in this category
Tax examining technicians process tax returns, correspondence and account adjustments, resolve discrepancies and respond to taxpayer inquiries. At the Internal Revenue Service, where the listings here come from, the work is concentrated in the campuses and processing centers, and lead and supervisory technicians run the teams and units that handle it.
Recent listings have included tax examining technicians, lead tax examining technicians, bilingual Spanish positions at both levels, a supervisory tax examiner serving as a group or unit manager, and a temporary tax examining technician appointment that can be extended.
Applying tip: IRS campus announcements are often open for a short window and used to fill many positions at once, so keep a complete USAJOBS profile ready and apply early. The IRS rates experience in processing or adjusting accounts, applying tax rules to routine cases and dealing with the public, so describe the volume you handled and the systems you used. Read the appointment type carefully: temporary appointments noted as not to exceed a year, with possible extension, are listed alongside permanent ones. Our application timeline guide sets expectations for the wait.
