Before your interview it is important that you not only research IRS, but also their competitors. What do you think that IRS is doing better than any of their competitors? Be positive, compliment IRS on their efforts, and ensure that you do not speak poorly of the competitors at the same time.

"I have researched IRS online and found a common theme when it came to reviews, comments, and news articles. That common theme is surrounding the fairness that you offer your employees. You have strong benefits programs and offer multiple growth opportunities in all business units. This seems like a really positive place to work. I simply didn't see your competitors standing out in that area."
