Summary

US Tax Expert (Lacerte + Business Returns) – AI Output Evaluation, Part-Time Contract About Filed Filed is AI tax software for CPA firms. Our platform reads source documents, prepares draft returns, and pushes data into professional tax software like Lacerte, UltraTax, CCH, and ProConnect. We're growing fast and expanding our coverage into business returns. The Work We're looking for a Lacerte and business tax expert to work directly with our in-house tax team and engineering on making our AI output better. This is a part-time contract role with the potential to grow. No customer-facing work; this is heads-down tax and product work. You'll be: - Evaluating AI-prepared returns (1040s and business returns) for accuracy: catching calculation errors, incorrect form flow, missed elections, and mapping issues - Testing how our output lands in Lacerte at the field level and flagging where data flows to the wrong place - Writing clear, structured feedback that engineers can act on: what's wrong, where, why, and what correct looks like - Working closely with our engineering team as we refine tax logic and expand business return coverage - Helping shape how we approach entity returns as the product grows You Should Have - Deep Lacerte experience; you know the program at the input screen and field level, not just at the print-the-return level - Extensive experience preparing both 1040s and business returns (1120, 1120-S, 1065) - CPA or EA preferred but strong equivalent experience works - The ability to explain a tax issue precisely in writing to a non-tax audience - Availability for ongoing part-time work with responsive communication; we move fast Details - Part-time contract, hours flexible but consistent - Fully remote, US hours preferred - Potential path to expanded scope for the right person
