Description

Publix Super Markets tops the list of privately-owned supermarkets in the US. We are privately-owned, hold no long-term debt and continue to grow year after year. Publix and our associates excel in community involvement, volunteerism, and environmental sustainability. Our collective commitment to diversity has contributed to our success in being a great place to work and shop. It’s satisfying to work for – and be an owner in – a Fortune 100 company that is widely recognized as a leader in the supermarket industry.

As a Sr. Tax Program Analyst on our Credits & Incentives team, you will be responsible for the development and implementation of Publix’s inventory donation process. This role also supports the business incentive’s function, including identifying data and reporting solutions for annual compliance projects, Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) and auto perk reporting.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing the Publix inventory donation process which includes documenting, analyzing, monitoring, and reporting of the donations data.
• Developing efficiency solutions for current tax reporting processes. Responsible for working cross-functionally to implement solutions to complex initiatives.
• Collecting, analyzing, and reporting mileage information to determine personal usage of employer provided vehicles. Quarterly reporting is required to calculate fringe benefit income (auto perk) per IRS requirements.
• Managing the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) program and credit calculation.

In Publix’s corporate offices, we value in-person interactions, similar to those our store associates have with customers. Many of Publix’s corporate offices offer work from home up to two days a week. Each business area implements their policy differently and should be discussed during interviews.
