The United States Tax Court Diversity in Government Internship Program (DiG Tax) will be virtual this summer and provide significant exposure to the inner workings of the U.S. Tax Court, a federal court located in Washington, D.C. DiG Tax interns will observe judges and lawyers; attend virtual trials, meetings, and presentations; and assist on projects with departments throughout the Court, including Case Services, Facilities, Finance, Human Resources, Library, Information Technology, and Public Affairs.

Prospective DiG Tax interns should demonstrate academic achievement; exhibit qualities such as strong character and self-sufficiency under challenging circumstances; and be self-directed and able to work with limited supervision.

Additionally, applicants must:
  1. Be a U.S. citizen or national;
  2. Be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program at an accredited U.S. institution of higher education recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (visit https://www.ed.gov/accreditation to verify your school and/or program of study);
  3. Have and maintain a 3.0 GPA or better;
  4. Have an interest in working with the federal government; and
  5. Be able to work 40 hours per week during the summer internship.
To apply, send a cover letter and a resume along with a copy of your most recent undergraduate or graduate transcript to DiGTax@ustaxcourt.gov with "DiG Tax" in the subject line.

For best consideration, apply by May 1.
