What does a Tax Examiner do?

Answer:
A tax examiner reviews tax returns, conducts

audits, and collects overdue taxes so that federal, state, and local governments receive revenues due from individuals and businesses.

Tax examiners review filed tax returns to make sure that the tax credits and tax deductions are accurate and legitimate. If tax returns are not accurate, tax examiners must determine if there are any adjustments or corrections that need to be made. If there is a concern, tax examiners may contact the individual who filed a tax return.

Because tax examiners work with confidential personal and financial information, it is important that they possess a high level of integrity. Good communication skills and the ability to work independently are also important assets for tax examiners to possess. Tax examiners must continue to keep up with any changes in tax codes and tax laws.
