Tips for Your Tax Intern Job Search

Tailor your resume to tax software

List every tax platform you've touched, even in a classroom setting: ProSystem fx, UltraTax, CCH Axcess, or Drake. Recruiters at public accounting firms filter resumes for these tools before anything else.

Highlight your accounting coursework directly

Call out specific courses like Federal Income Tax, Corporate Taxation, and Partnership Tax by name in a coursework section. Hiring managers want to see you've covered the technical groundwork before your first day.

Apply early to roles that fit

Migrate Mate lists tax intern openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.

Filter by busy-season timing first

Tax internships at public firms are often tied to the January to April busy season. Search with that window in mind and prioritize applications in September and October, when firms lock in their intern class.

Prepare for a technical case in interviews

Many tax intern interviews include a short scenario involving depreciation schedules, tax form identification, or basic entity classification. Review Schedule C, Form 1120, and the difference between ordinary income and capital gains before your first round.

Follow up with a specific detail from the interview

Send your thank-you note within 24 hours and reference one technical topic from the conversation, like a specific deduction or filing deadline discussed. It signals genuine interest and reinforces your technical preparation.

Tax Intern Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies are hiring the most tax interns?

The companies hiring the most tax interns right now include BDO, Alvarez & Marsal, and CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen), with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Public accounting firms and large corporate tax departments tend to post the highest volume of intern roles.

How many tax intern jobs are remote?

About 23% of tax intern openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, though availability shifts depending on the employer type. Tax research, return preparation support, and software-based compliance work are most likely to be offered in a remote or hybrid format, while client-service roles at public firms tend to require in-person attendance.

How do you become a tax intern?

Complete at least one semester of tax coursework, ideally covering federal income tax or corporate tax, before applying. Build familiarity with tax preparation software through your school's lab or a free trial version. Apply to openings at public accounting firms, regional CPA practices, and corporate finance departments, and be ready to discuss basic tax concepts and your coursework in interviews.

Can you get a tax intern role with no prior experience?

Yes, most tax intern positions are designed for students with no professional tax experience. Employers expect to train you on their processes and software. What matters most is relevant coursework, a solid GPA, and the ability to show you understand foundational concepts like filing statuses, deductions, and entity types during the interview.

What does the tax intern interview process look like?

Most tax intern interviews involve an initial phone or video screen with a recruiter, followed by one or two rounds with tax staff or managers. You can expect questions about your accounting coursework, how you handle deadlines, and basic technical scenarios involving tax forms or classifications. Some firms add a short written exercise or a campus information session before extending offers.
