2027 Corporate Tax Winter-Spring Internship

About the role

As a team member in Finance at Nationwide, a Fortune 100 company with nearly $70 billion in annual sales, the opportunities are endless! Let Nationwide help create your career journey! At Nationwide®, "on your side" goes beyond just words. Our customers are at the center of everything we do and we're looking for associates who are passionate about delivering extraordinary care.

About the role

Our department owns all of the tax responsibilities for federal & state income, premium, sales & use, and personal property taxes. We also collaborate with other Nationwide departments that own the payroll tax, property tax, product taxation, 1099 reporting, and government relations functions.

Since Nationwide's business is domestic focused, we have minimal foreign tax issues that global companies face. However, we do have filing requirements for nearly all states and US territories.

Our tax intern will primarily work with our premium tax team, preparing various tax returns and other calculations, assiting with notices, and other team projects. The role will be exposed to other tax functions such as federal & state income tax processes - through onboarding sessions or tasked assignments. We place a heavy emphasis on continuous improvement in the department, so our interns are encouraged to provide suggestions for improvements and perhaps work on implementing projects.
