The Enrolled Agent Tax Return Review is responsible for reviewing tax returns prepared by the tax preparation team before filing to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with applicable federal tax laws and IRS requirements.

Approximately 90% of the returns reviewed in this role are individual income tax returns, with a smaller portion consisting of business returns.

This role serves as a technical quality-control position within the tax department. The EA is expected to identify errors, inconsistencies, unsupported positions, missing documentation, and potential compliance issues before a return is approved for filing.

The ideal candidate has strong individual tax knowledge, significant experience with Form 1040 and related schedules, and enough business-tax experience to competently review common business returns when needed.

Key Responsibilities

- Review individual federal income tax returns before filing.
- Review Form 1040 and applicable schedules, including Schedules A, B, C, D, and E.
- Verify income, deductions, credits, dependents, filing status, withholding, estimated payments, and other material items.
- Review Schedule C and self-employment activity for accuracy and consistency.
- Review rental, investment, and pass-through income when applicable.

- Answer technical tax questions from tax preparers.
- Escalate complex or unusual tax issues when additional review is necessary.
- Approve completed tax returns for filing after all review items have been resolved.
- Document review notes, corrections, and approvals in the case-management system.
- Identify recurring preparation errors and assist with training or quality improvement.
- Stay current on federal tax law, IRS guidance, filing requirements, and procedural changes.
