Description

At the Kentucky Department of Revenue, we are dedicated to educating and assisting people and business owners to help bring them into compliance with the Commonwealth’s state tax laws.
We offer great on-the-job, real- life training so you will feel prepared as you begin this career path.
This is your opportunity to work in a dynamic learning organization with great leaders and talented co- workers! At Revenue, we pride ourselves on being a work/life balance organization with growth opportunities and programs.
The mission of the KY Department of Revenue is to consistently and efficiently administer tax laws and programs to fund public services while providing quality customer service to the taxpayers and tax professionals living and working in Kentucky.
The Office of Income Taxation supports this mission by thoroughly examining tax returns for accuracy and providing exceptional assistance to taxpayers and their representatives.
As a Revenue Tax Policy-Research Consultant I for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, you’ll assist management and Division staff by researching complex tax questions and issues and providing written and well-supported information.
Your research and analysis are vital to assist the Division to independently examine a variety of state tax returns for compliance with Kentucky tax laws and regulations.

Keys to success in this position include being knowledgeable of tax laws, as well as the ability to communicate clearly and concisely to managers and staff.
In addition, being meticulous, thorough, and ethical are important qualities to ensure successful communication of complex tax issues through research and training.
