The role of a Tax Associate at Intuit’s TurboTax Store represents a unique, seasonal or year-round opportunity to blend tax expertise with community involvement. Designed especially for tax professionals such as Enrolled Agents, CPAs, or Practicing Attorneys, this on-site role centers on preparing tax returns, providing personalized tax advice, and nurturing long-lasting relationships with customers within local communities across the United States. Tax Associates serve as trusted advisors, leveraging Intuit’s advanced TurboTax software and marketing tools to assist individuals and small business clients in navigating tax complexities and maximizing their financial outcomes.

Working at a TurboTax location, Tax Associates represent the face of TurboTax in their communities, participating in local outreach events, creating accessible tax-related content, and using both in-person and virtual communication channels to deliver exemplary service.

They utilize professional tools, government resources, and deep understanding of tax laws including Circular 230 requirements to ensure accuracy and compliance. In addition to tax preparation, the role encourages Associates to build an online and offline presence, enhancing TurboTax’s reputation while helping customers achieve their unique financial goals such as saving for retirement, funding education, or planning significant life events.
