Admitted to the bar in 1939, he joined the New York law firm of Weil, Gotshal and Manges as an associate in 1939. He became a full partner in 1947 and practiced law in New York and Washington until he was appointed a judge on the United States Tax Court by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965.

Tannenwald's private law practice was interspersed with several leaves of absence for government service. During World War II, he served in the Department of State overseas as a special consultant to the Secretary of war; from 1946 to 1949, he was a part-time consultant to Secretary of Defense, James Forrestal; from 1950 to 1953, he was closely associated with W. Averell Harriman, serving first as counsel when Harriman was special assistant for foreign affairs to President Truman and as chief of staff when Harriman became Director for Mutual Security in 1951. His relationship with Harriman continued on an informal, consultant basis from 1954 to 1958, when Harriman was Governor of New York. Also during the 1950's, Tannenwald served in an advisory capacity to the Government of Israel.

Appointed to President Kennedy's Task Force on Foreign Assistance in 1961, he served as Special Assistant to the Secretary of State where he represented the administration in guiding the foreign aid program through Congress.

In 1981, Tannenwald was elected to a two-year term as chief judge for the United States Tax Court, having served on the court since 1965. In 1983 he retired and took senior status, but continued to keep a substantial docket and fill in as chief judge.

Beginning in 1958 until his death, Tannenwald served in many capacities, including chairman, on the Board of Governors of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. He also chaired the Israel Committee of the American Jewish Committee and served on the organization's National Executive Board and Board of Governors.

Tannenwald's academic accomplishments included lecturing at George Washington University, the University of Miami Law School, and the University of San Diego Law School where he was Distinguished Adjunct Professor. He held honorary degrees from the University of Cincinnati and the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.
