Tax examiners determine the amount of taxes owed by businesses and citizens.

Tax examiners work for government agencies that collect taxes. They may work for a local or state government or the federal government. The federal government delas with business and personal income taxes. State governments collect income and sales taxes. Local governments collect property and sales taxes.

Tax examiners usually specialize in one of three areas:

• Tax examiners help people determine the amount of taxes they owe.
• Revenue agents conduct tax audits when necessary.
• Collectors collect taxes from individuals and businesses.

Tax examiners, revenue agents, and collectors must stay up to date with tax laws and regulations. They review tax returns, conduct audits, and identify taxes owed.

Tax examiners make sure that individuals and businesses pay the correct amount of taxes based on laws and regulations. They also follow up with taxpayers whose returns are incorrect or who owe money. Tax examiners mostly make sure that the tax credits and deductions claimed by the taxpayer are legal.

Revenue agents review tax returns for accuracy and handle the complex returns of large businesses. They often specialize in tax-related accounting.

Tax collectors are responsible for overdue accounts. They contact taxpayers and determine the best way to settle any debt.
