The Career of an Appeals Officer

If you’re ready for a second career that offers a great lifestyle, consider the position of IRS Appeals Officer, hiring at the GS-11 to GS-15 grade levels. You’ll conduct conferences to settle cases in which taxpayers have appealed IRS determinations on their tax case, or filed a petition in U.S. Tax Court. You’ll provide neutral assistance as a mediator between the IRS and the taxpayer, and you’ll have the authority to arrive at the final disposition of the case from the government’s perspective — and to approve the final settlement.

This position lets you serve the American public. Being a federal career, it also provides great job security, plus a defined 40-hour work week and the opportunity to make an immediate impact. You’ll also receive extensive benefits, including comprehensive healthcare, a retirement fund, flexible spending accounts, and education assistance that will help lead you up the career ladder.
