Can I get a government job if I owe back unpaid taxes?

Answer 1

Maybe, but you would be guaranteed that the government would dock your pay for the unpaid taxes!

Some government positions require credit checks and IRS checks, especially those involving significant trust such as cash handling, budget management, disbursements or a security clearance. Those positions would likely be closed to you unless you were current on your tax payments and had never been delinquent.
