In this role, you’ll apply your hands-on preparation expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required. Your domain knowledge is what matters.

3. Build realistic, self-contained tax scenarios involving complex returns, including self-employment, partnership and S-corporation K-1s, investments, and credits, specifying facts, dates, filing status, and expected results.
4. Review and evaluate AI-generated returns and computations for accuracy and completeness, flagging errors by severity (critical, secondary, minor).
