I am looking for part time tax work this season,

Have you worked for any of these firms before? What did you think.

Thanks.

go with H&R. You will probably get the most work..right...

Most of these firms pay minimum wage and a percentage of the fees generated. The people that make the most money are the ones that do the super-simple returns with EIC and RAL's.

HR Block pays a salary for first year preparers, after which they pay a commission.

I currently work for Jackson Hewitt and they pay their 1st year preparers salary plus bonus. I have been with the company for 5 years and my bonuses (our franchise pays 3 separate bonuses) have paid up to and above 2500.00 per yr on top of an hourly wage. Not bad for four months out of the year. Each year the bonus percent increases as well as the hourly wage. I am not sure that all areas offer the same type of compensation though.

By the way... The guy who now owns Liberty was the original JH owner. Designed the software we use and it is great.

I just added into this forum, so please forgive any incorrect catagorization in advance.

I was just wondering...

I recently finished my H & R Block Basic Building Blocks class and there is a decent chance of me being hired as a tax preparer. First off, if there is any advise anybody wants to give me I'd love to hear it.

What I really want to know (without asking my new potential supervisor, is how exactly are new people paid? Is this a minimum plus commission deal? Are we independent contractors? Commission only?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. BTW, I would be working in Washington state.
