WHAT IS THE Internal Revenue Service (IRS)?
The IRS is a bureau of the Department of the Treasury and one of the
world's most efficient tax administrators. Yearly, the IRS collects
more than $2 trillion in revenue and processes over 200 million tax
returns. The IRS Mission is to provide the United States taxpayers
top quality service by helping them understand and meet their tax
responsibilities and by applying the tax law with integrity and
fairness to all.
If you are interested in a challenging accounting career with
excellent benefits, training, and strong growth potential, we
strongly encourage you to apply for the Internal Revenue Agent
position.
As a Revenue Agent, you may start your career in one of the following
IRS Divisions:
The Small Business/Self-Employed (SB/SE) operating division has
approximately 26,000 employees who serve 57 million taxpayers. SB/SE
serves approximately one-third of the overall taxpayer base. SB/SE
strives to provide Small Business/Self-Employed Division customers
top-quality service by educating and informing them of their tax
obligations, developing educational products and services, and
helping them understand and comply with applicable laws, and to
protect the public interest by applying the tax law with integrity
and fairness to all.
The Large and Mid Sized Business (LMSB) operating division is
responsible for administering the tax examinations of the largest
corporations in America. You may work on teams or individually,
coordinating examinations of multinational and national corporations,
and other complex entities. You will be supported by a variety of
specialists to assist in addressing numerous complex tax issues as
you deal with corporations on the most complex issues. These often
include tax shelters, mergers and acquisitions, global operations,
transfer pricing and others. You will work closely with your
customers, often dealing with the senior levels of corporate tax
departments and/or their representatives. You will be challenged
every day, both in your research, development of issues and in
communications with taxpayers.
The Tax Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) Division was
established to improve the IRS's ability to meet the special needs of
pension plans, exempt organizations, and government entities in
complying with the tax laws. TE/GE's three major business units --
Exempt Organizations (EO), Employee Plans (EP), and Government
Entities (GE) -- oversee a diverse range of customers, from small
volunteer community organizations to sovereign Indian tribes to large
pension funds. While these entities are not subject to Federal
income tax, they represent a significant aspect of tax
administration, with approximately three million entities controlling
almost $8 trillion in assets and paying over $200 billion in
employment tax and income tax withholding. TE/GE provides end-to-end
service and accountability to its unique customer base.
The Appeals Division is independent by statute and staffed by highly
trained professionals. The Appeals function provides alternative
dispute resolution for any taxpayer contesting IRS compliance
actions. Appeals represent the last opportunity for the IRS and a
taxpayer to resolve disputes prior to litigation, and ensure that all
taxpayers can receive an impartial review of their tax case. This
impartial review is essential to the integrity of the American tax
system. Appeals employs Revenue Agents as Tax Computation
Specialists.
