Internal Revenue Officer

Working for the nation as an IRS Internal Revenue Officer, you’ll be a highly trained professional protecting the interests of the federal government and the tax-paying public. Your primary focus will involve collecting delinquent tax accounts and securing delinquent tax returns.

You may be conducting research, interviews, investigations, analyzing financial statements and contacting third parties for information. Your work will be performed on a case-by-case basis, each requiring a certain — and sometimes different — course of action. No two days will be alike.

Your best-in-class IRS training will include classes in tax law, business law, investigative techniques and enforcement procedures. It’s all designed to prepare you as rapidly as possible for independent performance — as well as for the opportunity to work in the field from day one. Internal Revenue Officers work in IRS field offices throughout the country. Plus, you’ll build practical skills that can lead to any number of diverse career tracks, with the opportunity for career growth and advancement.

To qualify, you need excellent communications skills and a bachelor’s degree. In the IRS, you have a career that invests in you by offering continuing education assistance, work-life balance, plus great insurance and retirement benefits.
