Reviewing protests, which review will include making findings of fact, analyzing and evaluating all arguments raised by the taxpayers;
Gathering all pertinent documentation, and conducting all necessary research, and for rendering final determinations in connection to such protests;
Providing legal advice and guidance to the staff in the DRS Appellate Division in connection with the Department’s administrative review process.

This position will work under the direction of, and have an opportunity to learn from, a State Program Manager, Appellate Subdivision Attorney, the Department's Tax Litigation Director, and the Department's First Assistant Commissioner & General Counsel.

About us

The Appellate Subdivision is part of the Department’s Litigation Division and is responsible for reviewing protests filed by taxpayers. Protests allow taxpayers who disagree with decisions of the Department (generally, decisions to assess a taxpayer or decisions to deny a claim for refund) to receive additional administrative review of these decisions. Upon issuance of a final determination by the Appellate Subdivision, taxpayers have the ability to seek review of the DRS’ actions by filing an appeal to the Tax Session of the Connecticut Superior Court. As such, the Appellate Subdivision is the first stage of tax litigation in the State of Connecticut.

Selection Plan

All applicants, including rehires and transfers, applying for a position of employment with DRS must:

Complete a written statement disclosing whether such applicant has ever been convicted of a crime or whether criminal charges are pending against such applicant. If any charges are pending, the statement must identify the charges and the court in which such charges are pending.
