• Write clear, concise preparer notes explaining how each figure on the return was derived, so that every number can be traced and reproduced.

• Strong written communication, with an emphasis on clarity, objectivity, and reproducibility.

• Contributor: Meets the required qualifications above.
• Expert: 5+ tax seasons. Able to audit and strengthen scenarios, making a task harder without making it vague. Trainer, reviewer, or QC background preferred. A careful, independent preparer who builds the return from scratch.
• Adjudicator: 10+ years with review or sign-off responsibility. IRS exam, representation, or QC partner background preferred.
