About the 1040 Individual Tax Specialist Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced 1040 Individual Tax Specialist to support seasonal tax preparation in a highly structured, accuracy-driven environment. This role focuses exclusively on individual tax returns and may extend beyond April 15 based on extensions and workload. This is an excellent opportunity for a tax professional who enjoys detailed work, consistency, and working within established processes.

Key Responsibilities of the 1040 Individual Tax Specialist

  • Prepare and review individual tax returns (low to medium complexity)

  • Handle returns involving retired clients, rental properties, and K-1s

  • Review prior-year returns and client organizers to identify changes

  • Accurately complete paper-based tax input sheets

  • Communicate with clients to clarify missing or incomplete information

  • Follow structured procedures to ensure accuracy and compliance

Required Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of individual tax preparation experience

  • Strong knowledge of 1040 individual returns, rental properties, and K-1s

  • Experience using Creative Solutions / Thomson Reuters

  • High attention to detail and comfort working in structured, process-driven environments

  • Degree not required

  • H&R Block or storefront tax preparation background welcomed

Tools & Work Environment

  • Calculator, phone, copier, and paper-based input sheets

  • No Excel usage required

  • No direct system data entry

Why This 1040 Individual Tax Specialist Role Stands Out

  • Clear scope focused solely on individual tax returns

  • Structured workflow with defined processes

  • Predictable schedule with potential extension

  • Ideal for experienced seasonal tax professionals seeking a steady, on-site assignment

    Salary Range: $62,400 – $72,800 annually
    Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Work Arrangement: On-site only (no remote or hybrid)
    Position Type: Seasonal with potential extension beyond April 15
