Every year there’s one job that tons of people write-off (pun intended) or just flat out forget about. Everyone belly aches from Jan. 1 until April 15 about the check they’ll be writing to Uncle Sam so it’s anyone’s guess why they overlook their neighborhood tax preparer. We’re not talking about accountants, that job requires a CPA certification. Tax preparers are awesome full-time jobs that can fill the gap between your seasonal job and whatever comes next.
Tax season may not be as big or popular as the holidays, but it’s a season all the same and every season brings some kind of job along with it. Tax preparers work for companies like Liberty Tax and H&R Block. They go through a brief training period with a general overview of tax law. Their main goal is to help every customer maximize their refund from the state and federal government.
Without tax preparers, nearly 100,000 Americans don’t file (or don’t file correctly) their tax returns every year. That’s unclaimed money, nearly $1.3 billion. Tax preparers help put that money back in the bank accounts of hard working Americans, and who doesn’t want to do that?
