JOB OVERVIEW

Senior US Tax Preparer (1040) — Remote, Philippines
Full-time independent contractor · Work from home · $1,500–$2,200/month USD

Why this role exists
When our clients in the US finish their workday, yours begins — which means returns we assign in the afternoon are prepared and waiting for review the next morning. We’re looking for a seasoned US tax preparer who takes real pride in accuracy: someone whose returns come back from review clean, season after season.

About us
Tax Resolution Services of Hawaii Inc is a US-based tax and accounting firm (Hawaii location) serving individuals and small businesses. You’ll join our established remote team in the Philippines — currently one tax preparer and five bookkeepers — who have been with us long-term. This is a year-round, full-time engagement, not seasonal gig work.

About the role
Twelve months from now, you’ll own a full individual-return workload through tax season: preparing federal and state returns in Drake Tax from start to finish, self-reviewing your work, and turning around assignments overnight with minimal correction notes from our US reviewers. For your first 90 days you’ll work hours that overlap with our Hawaii business day (HST) for training and direct collaboration; after that, you’ll shift to a regular Philippine daytime schedule.

What you’ll do
• Prepare US individual income tax returns (Form 1040), including Schedules A, C, D, and E, plus applicable state returns.
• Work in Drake Tax daily — data entry, diagnostics, and e-file preparation.
• Self-review every return before submitting it for US review, and apply reviewer feedback so the same issue doesn’t appear twice.
• Organize and reconcile client source documents; flag missing items and open questions clearly.
• Maintain strict confidentiality of client tax data and follow our security procedures.

What we’re looking for
Required:
• 3+ years of hands-on US individual tax preparation experience (1040 and state returns).
• Proficiency with Drake Tax.
• A track record of accurate work — returns that pass review with few corrections. We check for this in our screening test and references.
• Strong written English and reliable home-office setup (computer, backup internet/power plan, VPN).
• Available full-time, year-round, with Hawaii-hours overlap for the first 90 days.
Preferred:
• EA or Philippine CPA credential.
• Experience with US business returns (1120-S, 1065) and QuickBooks.

Compensation & benefits
$1,200–$2,800 per month USD, depending on experience, as an independent contractor (full-time, 40 hrs/week). Paid twice monthly via Wise.
• 13th-month bonus paid in December (prorated in your first year).
• Earned PTO that accrues monthly, scheduled outside peak season (February–April 15).
• Annual rate reviews and a long-term, year-round engagement.

How to apply

Email ---------- with:
(1) your resume
(2) the number of US tax seasons you’ve completed,
(3) a list of the return types you’ve prepared (1040 and which schedules, state returns, etc.) with your approximate volume per season,
(4) the tax software you’ve used and (5) the PM software that you have used (TaxDome, Canopy, Karbon, Double, etc.)
Put the word “accurate” in your subject line so we know you read this far. Shortlisted candidates will complete a short sample return in Drake. We respond to every qualified applicant within 3 business days.
