Tax Compliance Agent Intern
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to extract substantive content: Department mission, vision, values maybe not required but could be part of "About the role"? The posting includes "Department Information" describing mission, vision, values. That could be considered "About the role" or "About the department". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which sections have content. We have: - About the role: description of job: "We're hiring a public service oriented individual with excellent de-escalation skills to be our Tax Compliance Agent Intern!

The "Application instructions" includes many details about how to apply, attachments, etc. We should remove those. Also remove "Helpful Tips For Applying", "What Happens After You Apply." etc. Also remove "Email Address", "Appeal Rights", maybe those are considered application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should strip sections that are purely about how to apply, email, appeal rights, etc. However we need to preserve substantive information like qualifications, responsibilities, benefits, etc. Benefits: The posting includes a benefits package description under Department Information: "As part of the State of Colorado, DOR offers a competitive benefits package to permanent employees: PERA retirement benefits including PERA Defined Benefit Plan, PERA Defined Contribution Plan, plus 401K and 457 plans Medical , Dental , and Vision insurance coverage Automatic Short-Term and Optional Long-Term Disability Coverage Life and AD&D Insurance Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) job protection and State of Colorado Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) 11 Paid Holidays Annually and Accrued Annual and Sick Leave Variety of discounts on services and products available through the State of Colorado's Work-Life Employment Discount Program". That's substantive benefits. So we should include a Benefits section. Pay: Not mentioned. So we should not create Pay section. Schedule: Not explicitly stated besides typical day: 2 hours home-based, 6 hours field work, 60% travel. Could be considered schedule? The instruction says only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does mention typical day schedule. Might be okay to include Schedule section with that detail. However we could also incorporate into Responsibilities or About the role. Safer to include Schedule if we have specific schedule info. It says "A typical day begins with two hours of home-based account research and preparation, followed by six hours of field work." That's schedule. So we can include Schedule section. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll structure:
About the role
... (the description)
Responsibilities
- ... list of duties
Requirements
maybe for minimum qualifications? Or Qualifications. The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We can choose. We have Minimum Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Conditions of Employment (some are requirements). Could combine into Qualifications section. We could have:Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications: ...
Preferred Qualifications: ...
Conditions of Employment: ...
But we need to use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For qualifications, we could list as
- ... each bullet
- , Preferred Qualifications as a
- , Conditions of Employment as a
- .
But we need to avoid too many thin sections. Perhaps combine into one Qualifications section with subheadings? But we cannot use other headings besides the allowed ones? The instruction only says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those headings. Thus we can have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Qualifications (maybe combine minimum and preferred) - Benefits - Schedule We could also have Skills section for preferred qualifications like proficiency with Excel, etc. But we can put skills under Qualifications. Let's decide: About the role: paragraph describing role. Responsibilities: list of duties (primary duties + additional duties + field work details? maybe include field work as responsibility). Qualifications: list of minimum qualifications, preferred qualifications, conditions of employment (maybe as separate sublists). Could be a bit long but okay. Benefits: list of benefits. Schedule: paragraph about typical day. We must not include application instructions, email, appeal rights, etc. Now we need to extract exact text preserving all substantive information, not summarizing. Let's copy relevant text. About the role: from "Description Of Job" paragraph: "We're hiring a public service oriented individual with excellent de-escalation skills to be our Tax Compliance Agent Intern! In this role, you'll be organizing your workload in the morning and heading out the rest of the day to conduct tax compliance checks on businesses. Although you won't be auditing, you will use your interpersonal skills and knowledge to collect owed taxes and inform businesses of their delinquent account. If tax delinquencies are not voluntarily resolved, you will achieve compliance by serving distraint warrants, seizing inventories, and securing business property which may be sold at public auction to satisfy liabilities. Your ability to remain organized and manage your workload will ensure goals are met. This is a close knit, supportive and small team who make sure you have what you need! If you're ready to serve Colorado, then this job may be for you!" We'll keep that. Responsibilities: from "Primary Duties" and "Additional duties" and field position details. Primary Duties list: - How to identify and locate non-compliant taxpayers and businesses. - What documentation is needed to provide to the taxpayer for types of non-compliance and delinquency. - Steps, processes and methods required to bring a taxpayer back into compliance. - Collecting, processing money and documents pertaining to the taxpayers account to bring them into compliance - What proper method to file judgments/liens. - Identify and secure assets for seizure to resolve accounts and achieve compliance. - Additional duties: Special Event tax compliance Also field position details: "This is a field position requiring the incumbent to spend approximately 60% of each day traveling to and meeting with businesses and individuals.
