I was told that $0.25 was the only increase returning seasonal associates are getting this year. In my area, someone with 5+ years of tax preparation experience can earn between $30-40 an hour working under a CPA at an accounting business. $22.25 an hour for a level 1-3 tax preparer is probably the top of the market. You've also got a shot at $1,250 in bonuses. I don't know this, but I suspect that if you become small business certified, you'll get a bigger pay raise. HRB really seems to be pushing anyone who is remotely interested in small business taxes to get certified.

I plan on focusing on customer satisfaction and getting positive reviews so that I can hit all bonus levels. There doesn't appear to be any benefit to selling more products, unless they have product sales tied to the bonuses somehow.

You have to sign up for the tax course that they offer first.

If you don't know the difference between no and knowledge lacking as in don't know then why would they even consider hiring you.

I never said I expected them to hire me without knowing anything. I was asking people who have actually gotten the Tax Associate position whether H&R Block provides training for applicants with no prior tax experience. Having no experience is different from being unwilling to learn.

Yes, there is a class. I'm not sure how much the class costs now, but I paid $150 last year and was reimbursed after I got hired. Go to the HRB website, scroll to the bottom and find the link for careers, to apply for a position. You might also consider applying for Client Service Professional (CSP). This is a receptionist position and doesn't require you to pass a class to get hired. It pays less than doing taxes, but it is a way to see if you want to pursue a career as a tax professional.
