KPMG has an internal tax controversy team if you wanted to try to transition to them.
Chief counsel’s office is tax litigation in tax court. Tax Controversy (internal) cannot do litigation as it is an accounting firm. This is more of the research, letter writing, and advising teams on matters that relate to controversy.
Any idea what the pay and hours would look like at IRS?
Hours are relatively standard 9-5 but there are occasional nights/weekends. Pay is public info…most attorneys with experience join as GS14 pay scale. I think range is like 120k to 165k in DC. A few are GS15
There’s two general categories of jobs in counsel - national office (associate chief counsel in different areas like corporate, international, pass throughs, etc) and field counsel (large business & international and small business/ self employed). The later litigate in tax court…the former draft regs, issue legal advice to the field, write PLRs.
Responding to original poster. It’s definitely worth moving to counsel. Pay is decent…not great but the experience is excellent and its 100% technical work. No admin garbage or billing. Stay for a few years and you can always return to big4 WNT which is a common exit. I will say the applicant pool is very large and competitive…big law, WNT, etc. good luck
Hi! Did you ever make a move to the IRS office of chief counsel? I am in the same boat now / trying to make a decision. Would appreciate your insight.
