About the Positions:

Clerks and Tax Examiners perform a variety of administrative tasks and duties associated with tax administration. These duties will vary based on the position and may include identifying and reviewing forms, preparing inventory reports, reviewing filed material, transcribing taxpayer documents, responding to taxpayer correspondence, resolving account issues, and reviewing tax returns for errors and missing information.

We will be offering full-time, seasonal positions on day and swing shifts (based on availability). Seasonal employment typically lasts 6-8 months or longer and provides the stability of returning to your position each year. These positions do not require you to have any prior tax experience, as we provide comprehensive training to new hires.

These positions are not eligible for telework. You will be required to work at the Austin, TX Service Center.

Eligible new hires may receive a $2,000 pre-taxed incentive, paid in two installments of $1,000 upon successful completion of employment at 6 months and 18 months. A two-year service agreement is required.
