Supervisor Tax

Overview:

CommonSpirit Health was formed by the alignment of Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) and Dignity Health. With more than 700 care sites across the U.S. from clinics and hospitals to home-based care and virtual care services CommonSpirit is accessible to nearly one out of every four U.S. residents. Our world needs compassion like never before. Our communities need caring and our families need protection. With our combined resources CommonSpirit is committed to building healthy communities advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable and innovating how and where healing can happen both inside our hospitals and out in the community.

The Tax Supervisor is responsible for reviewing federal, state and local tax returns for CHI and our local
“Market Based Organizations” (“MBO’s”). The Tax Supervisor serves as a primary contact for tax issues
raised by Tax Analysts, Senior Tax Analysts, National Office staff and assigned MBOs. The Tax
Supervisor supervises projects and tax returns as assigned by Tax Manager, and assists in coordinating
the return preparation process via scheduling and monitoring progress of projects / tax returns. The Tax
Supervisor has primary responsibility for maintaining our tax return calendar ensuring that new filing
responsibilities are properly identified and recorded, that all upcoming due dates are known and that the
filing of returns are properly tracked. The Tax Supervisor will oversee assigned tax-related projects
