Tax Specialist
Our Tax Specialists are the experts at ensuring that Publix accounts for all of the various company-related taxes for which our company is responsible.
Tax Specialists are responsible for complying with taxes including tangible personal property, income, sales, and employment, as well as various tax and accounting projects. The work-related tangible property tax involves reviewing current equipment inventory to include it properly in the tax return. The Specialists also identify disposed assets and determine the asset class and year it was acquired.
In preparing employment tax returns, payments, and reconciliations for Publix, the Specialists coordinate with the Payroll department and Business Systems Support to properly report wages and employment taxes. Other tax projects the Specialists support include tax returns for federal and state income and a quarterly lobbying report for Publix's Government Relations department. This lobbying report involves analyzing the invoices that were recorded to the contributions and dues general ledger accounts and determining which amounts are non-deductible according to IRS regulations. Furthermore, the Specialists account for each of Publix's subsidiary operating companies. They ensure that the assets, liabilities, income and expenses are properly recorded on the general ledger accounts.
