Entry Level Tax Preparer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level tax preparer job?
Start by earning a credential that signals foundational competence, such as the IRS Annual Filing Season Program certificate or a Preparer Tax Identification Number, which is required to file returns for clients. Employers at this level value hands-on coursework, any internship experience at an accounting or tax firm, and familiarity with common tax software. A clean, organized resume that highlights relevant classwork or volunteer tax prep experience, such as VITA participation, gives new candidates a clear edge.
Which companies hire entry level tax preparers?
Companies hiring entry level tax preparers right now include Jackson Hewitt, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, national tax service chains, regional accounting firms, and payroll service providers tend to post the highest volume of junior openings each season.
Are there remote entry level tax preparer jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor on-site work so new hires can receive direct supervision and training. About 0% of entry level tax preparer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and those positions typically require prior software proficiency and a secure home workspace for handling sensitive client documents.
Are these new grad tax preparer jobs?
Yes. These listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior tax preparer roles that explicitly welcome candidates with little or no professional experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically requires zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or practicum work as a substitute, and may prioritize a relevant degree or certificate over a long employment history.
Which industries hire the most entry level tax preparers?
Entry Level tax preparer roles concentrate in Accounting & Auditing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive junior hiring because they handle high volumes of individual or business returns, creating consistent demand for trained preparers who can be onboarded and supervised during peak filing seasons.
