Tax Accountant

Pay: up to $40 – $125+ /hour (depends on task difficulty and specialization)

Location: Remote · Type: Independent contractor · Hours: Flexible hours · Payouts: Weekly

Overview

Ask a model a tax question and it answers with authority, then applies a code section that changed last year, misses a phaseout, treats an S corp like a partnership, and forgets that state rules diverge from federal. The number lands confidently wrong. A tax professional like you is who catches the error before it reaches a return.

As a Tax Accountant you'll evaluate AI work on tax rules, provisions, and compliance, check the treatment against the current code, and write the answer a careful preparer would put their name on.

What you’ll actually do

• Draft prompts that probe tax treatment, provision calculations, entity structuring, and compliance across federal and state.
• Review AI output for outdated code sections, missed phaseouts, wrong entity treatment, and book-tax differences, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct treatment when the model falls short, with the working shown clearly.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: Corporate Tax Manager, Tax Director, Tax Analyst.

What we look for

• Hands-on tax experience: corporate, individual, or provision (ASC 740) work.
• Comfort tracing a position back to the code and current guidance.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
• No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
