Each year, millions of Americans file their taxes. According to IRS data, 2 out of 3 took a standard deduction on their 2006 return, meaning it was a simple filing. More than 60% also paid a preparer to file their taxes for them. Many of these customers are seeking fast access to a refund on their Federal and State returns and view it as an annual windfall. The average individual refund for the 2006 filing year was $2,287.

Some basic financial management experience is helpful, whether basic accounting or even self-prepared tax returns in the past. Basic computer skills are also a big plus. An ideal candidate has good communication skills and enjoys working with people while providing a high level of customer service.
