Overview
Intuit is seeking highly motivated individuals to join our dynamic team as dedicated year-round TurboTax Local Service Experts in one of our new TurboTax locations across the United States. This unique opportunity combines tax expertise, entrepreneurial spirit, and community engagement to help customers navigate their tax needs. As a TurboTax - Local Service Expert, you will serve as a trusted advisor, empowering customers to achieve positive financial outcomes while supporting Intuit’s mission of “Powering Prosperity Around the World.”
About the Role: In this role, you will work on-site from a TurboTax location as part of a collaborative team of financial experts, serving in-person and virtual customers who use Intuit TurboTax products. Your primary focus will be full-service tax return preparation, providing expert tax advice, calculations, and software support, but your responsibility extends beyond that. You will be the connective tissue between your customers and a broader team of specialists covering business tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, financial planning, and advisory services. This is not a hand-off model. You will sit in the same customer meetings, absorb the same context, and build a shared understanding of each customer's complete financial picture, then work in lock-step with the right experts to deliver a seamless, end-to-end Intuit experience.
Your ability to understand each customer's unique situation and connect with them on a personal level is critical. Taxes can be stressful, and your presence as a trusted, knowledgeable guide makes all the difference whether you're helping with a straightforward W-2 filing, navigating a major life event like marriage, a new child, or elder care, or tackling more complex scenarios involving business income, investments, or amendments.
Additionally, you will play a key role in growing TurboTax’s client base within the local community, attracting new clients, establishing long-term relationships, and driving customer loyalty. You will leverage TurboTax marketing support and software to empower you in building a thriving business that fosters prosperity for both you and your community.
This role is nonexempt and requires onsite presence at a TurboTax location in the United States.
What You’ll Do:
-
Provide Tax Expertise - Give hands-on tax advice and complete preparation services for TurboTax clients, handling simple to complex tax situations (e.g., personal and business income, deductions optimization, amendments). Facilitate discovery sessions and tax reviews to uncover deductions, minimize tax liabilities, maximize refunds, and provide future tax planning advice. Utilize resources such as government websites, professional tools, and team expertise to deliver accurate tax solutions in personalized everyday language.
-
Be a Proactive Community Ambassador - Embody a “community ambassador” and “business owner” mindset to actively build and grow a new local customer base for TurboTax. As a primary driver of local growth, you will own your market — identifying and pursuing prospects through targeted outreach, grass-roots marketing initiatives, referral networks, and community partnerships. Serve as the local face of TurboTax, converting new prospects into loyal, long-term clients. Organize and lead local events such as financial literacy workshops, community pop-ups, and networking gatherings with the support of TurboTax marketing tools and resources, to create consistent opportunities for customer engagement and brand awareness.
-
Champion the Full Intuit Ecosystem - Act as a trusted guide for every client by developing a deep understanding of their complete financial picture and connecting them with the Intuit solutions best positioned to move them forward. As you build relationships through tax engagements and collaborative client meetings, identify opportunities to introduce clients to complementary services such as bookkeeping, payroll, financial planning, or Credit Karma that meaningfully address their needs. Your role is not simply to deliver a service, but to ensure every client leaves with a clearer path and the full weight of Intuit's resources behind them for year-round support.
-
Build Relationships - Connect with people, demonstrate understanding and sensitivity to their financial concerns and build the long-term trust that turns a one-time transaction into a loyal, multi-year relationship.
-
Deliver a Best in Class Customer Experience - Create an exceptional customer experience, professionalism, and genuine interest in helping clients achieve their financial goals (e.g., saving for retirement, college funds, weddings, or vacations). Interact with customers both in-person and through Intuit’s state-of-the-art video communication tools. Address client inquiries while helping them overcome tax-related challenges.

Align Your Credentials to IRS Standards
Intuit requires Tax Experts to hold active IRS credentials, either an Enrolled Agent designation, CPA license, or attorney status. Securing your EA designation before applying removes a key hiring barrier and signals you're ready to work without credential contingencies.
Target Full-Time Roles Over Seasonal Ones
Intuit staffs Tax Expert roles on both seasonal and permanent tracks. Visa sponsorship, including H-1B and Green Card pathways, applies overwhelmingly to full-time positions. Filter your search to permanent openings to avoid applying for roles that won't support long-term status.
Use Migrate Mate to Surface Sponsorship-Confirmed Listings
Intuit posts Tax Expert openings across multiple channels, but not all listings flag visa sponsorship clearly. Use Migrate Mate to browse verified sponsorship-confirmed Tax Expert roles at Intuit and filter by your specific visa category before investing time in an application.
Time Your Application Around H-1B Cap Deadlines
If you need H-1B sponsorship, USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for an October 1 start. Engage Intuit recruiters by January so the offer and petition paperwork are ready before the registration window opens. Missing the cycle means waiting a full year.
Clarify Sponsorship Scope During the Offer Stage
Intuit sponsors both initial visa petitions and long-term Green Card filings for qualifying Tax Expert roles. Confirm during negotiations whether the offer includes PERM labor certification support, not just the immediate work authorization, so your permanent residency pathway is established from day one.
Document Your Tax Software Proficiency Specifically
Intuit evaluates Tax Experts on hands-on proficiency with TurboTax and Intuit's professional tax suite. Your resume and interview answers should cite specific product versions, tax scenarios handled, and client volumes. Generic tax experience without software specificity weakens your candidacy against internal transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Intuit sponsor H-1B visas for Tax Experts?
Yes, Intuit sponsors H-1B visas for Tax Expert roles, particularly for full-time permanent positions within its TurboTax and professional tax divisions. Sponsorship generally requires you to hold active IRS credentials such as an Enrolled Agent designation or CPA license. Seasonal or contract Tax Expert roles are far less likely to come with H-1B sponsorship, so targeting full-time openings is the practical path forward.
How do I apply for Tax Expert jobs at Intuit?
Applications go through Intuit's careers portal, where Tax Expert roles are listed under the Tax and Accounting category. Before applying, confirm you hold a qualifying IRS credential, as most postings treat this as a non-negotiable requirement rather than a preference. Migrate Mate aggregates Intuit's sponsorship-eligible Tax Expert listings in one place, making it easier to identify which openings are open to visa candidates before you apply.
Which visa types does Intuit commonly sponsor for Tax Expert roles?
Intuit sponsors a range of visa categories for Tax Expert positions, including H-1B, E-3 visa for Australian citizens, TN visa for Canadian and Mexican nationals, F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates, and J-1 visa for eligible exchange visitors. For candidates seeking permanent residence, Intuit supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card filings through the PERM labor certification process for qualifying long-term employees.
What qualifications does Intuit expect for Tax Expert roles?
Intuit requires Tax Experts to hold an active IRS credential: Enrolled Agent, CPA, or tax attorney status. Beyond credentials, Intuit looks for demonstrated experience preparing complex individual or business returns, familiarity with TurboTax or Intuit's professional tax software, and the ability to advise clients in a live, real-time environment. Prior experience in a high-volume tax practice or virtual tax support role strengthens your application significantly.
How do I think about timing when pursuing an Intuit Tax Expert role on a visa?
Timing depends on your current status. F-1 OPT candidates should begin outreach at least three months before OPT expires to allow time for an offer, onboarding, and H-1B registration if needed. H-1B candidates must align offers to USCIS's annual March registration window for an October 1 start date. For E-3 and TN holders, Intuit can initiate sponsorship outside the cap cycle, making those pathways faster to activate once an offer is in hand.
