Review and validate tax returns prepared by another tax professional.

Identify potential errors or missing information and provide clear Notes to Preparer for corrections.

Review, approve, sign, and file returns when appropriate, including returns you did not personally prepare.

Explain tax outcomes and recommendations to customers in clear, easy-to-understand language.

Communicate with customers using video, audio, and digital communication tools.

Assist customers with Tax product and software-related questions.

Research tax questions using government resources, professional tax tools, and internal resources.

Apply established tax procedures and best practices to resolve customer questions.

Maintain accurate documentation of customer interactions.

Work toward quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction KPIs.

Collaborate closely with preparers and quality-review teams to deliver a complete customer experience.

What We're Looking For

Minimum 2 seasons of paid tax preparation experience.

At least 30 completed tax returns per season through preparation and/or review experience.

Valid PTIN for the 2027 filing year.

Strong understanding of federal tax concepts and tax laws.

Familiarity with Form 1040 and associated schedules.
