Tax Examiners, Collectors, and Revenue Agents

Significant Points

• Tax examiners, collectors, and revenue agents work for Federal, State, and local governments.
• A bachelor's degree in accounting is becoming the standard source of training; in State and local government, less formal education or work experience may be sufficient.
• Employment is expected to grow more slowly than average.
• Because of the relatively small number of openings, jobseekers can expect to face competition; workers with knowledge of tax laws and experience working with complex tax issues will have the best opportunities.
