Exploring This Job

Get an internship or part-time job in a law firm or company that offers tax law services. This is a good way to work with tax lawyers and learn about the types of issues and clients they deal with on a daily basis. Prepare a list of questions about the job and conduct an information interview with a tax lawyer. Ask your school's career services office for help locating internship and employment opportunities. Keep up with tax law issues by reading articles posted on the Internal Revenue Service's Web site, https://www.irs.gov; use 'tax law' as the keyword search for recent postings and past updates. Get involved in a professional association to access events, educational workshops, and publications. For example, the National Association of Tax Professionals (https://www.natptax.com) provides the TAXPRO and TAXPRO Weekly e-mail newsletter, as well as other resources for tax professionals.
