IRS offering seasonal job opportunities for veterans, military spouses

The Internal Revenue Service is recruiting eligible individuals, under the Special Hiring Authorities for Veterans or Schedule A hiring authority, for seasonal contact representative positions during the 2018 tax filing season. 

Vacancy announcements now appear on USAJobs and application deadlines vary by location. The soonest anticipated hiring date for these positions also varies by location, but begins in mid-October. The IRS will post announcements for other positions throughout the summer and early fall.  

Complete details regarding the positions, duties, qualifications and benefits are contained in the online announcements. Veterans interested in this employment opportunity can apply online, and should be prepared to upload:

• Their résumé;

• Their DD 214;

• A veteran disability determination letter (if any); and

• Any applicable college transcripts.  

Veterans with a non-service connected disability may qualify for non-competitive appointments under the Schedule A Hiring Authority by showing proof of disability with a Schedule A certification letter from any licensed medical or vocational rehabilitation professional. The Schedule A letter should be dated, on organizational letterhead, and contain the signature and title of the person authorized to issue disability certification letters.
