Intuit hires tax advisors in the US and Canada.
How much do Intuit tax advisors make?
The rate of pay isn’t listed on the website, but it’s rumored to be $18 per hour, possibly a little more. Apparently Intuit’s tax advisors used to get a really nice bonus in addition to their pay — up to $8,000 per season — but I don’t see mention of that on the current job posting, so I’m not sure it’s anything they still offer.What does the job entail?
As a tax advisor for Intuit, you work from home helping out customers who contact Intuit about their TurboTax products. You’ll be handling inquiries that come through via phone, email, and chat. I did read at Work Place Like Home on a thread that was a couple of years old where someone had this job previously and only handled email and chat inquiries, which essentially means her position was non-phone. However, I don’t think you can choose that option when you apply. From what I read, it sounded like Intuit decided to let this person handle email and chat only because she was better at those kinds of inquiries.What experience do you need?
There is a long list of requirements, so I’ve just copy/pasted from the job posting what Intuit is looking for:- Must possess ACTIVE credentials for one of the following: EA (Enrolled Agent) or CPA (Certified Public Accountant)
- Must possess active PTIN.
- Extensive knowledge of tax laws.
- Experience using major tax preparation software. Experience with electronic filing a plus.
- Minimum 5 years experience preparing federal and state returns either individual (1040) or business (1120, 1120S, 1065, 1041, 990, 706).
- Able to research IRS and state publications, regulations, and GAAP publications.
- Experience discussing complex tax topics or situations.
- Must have excellent verbal and written communication skills. Bilingual a plus.
- Strong software troubleshooting abilities a plus.
- Ability to work with minimal supervision.
What is the schedule like?
Intuit usually has both full- and part-time remote positions available. If you are full-time, you can expect to be working about 40 hours per week, and part-time may be around 30 hours per week.How is the application process?
Someone posted about their Intuit seasonal tax advisor interview at Glassdoor. This person applied through a recruiter and claimed the entire process took three weeks. There was a two-part test, the first part covering your tax knowledge and the other part covering your English skills. If you make it through that, there is a phone interview. The test and interview is supposedly not terribly difficult if you know your tax stuff, but you need to have your reference materials handy in case you get a question you’re not sure about and need to look it up quickly.Feedback

If you meet the qualifications and know you can put in the hours, this would probably be a good job to get.Getting Started
