Job Summary
We have multiple tax attorney positions to fill involving individual income tax and withholding and cannabis/sales and use taxation.

This includes drafting legal memos, department publications (Rulemaking, Revenue Notices, Fact Sheets, Industry Guides, FAQ’s, Tax Sharing Agreements and Forms) and provide Department trainings as needed. During the legislative session, you will also draft tax legislation, testify in tax committee and act as a resource regarding tax administration for legislators and their staff. If a case is appealed to court, you will also support the Attorney General’s office through that process. Whether you are just beginning your tax career, looking for a lateral change or even a second career in tax law, we hope you will apply.
