Anyone have any thoughts on a fair salary for a part time virtual tax prep-focused position? I’ve been made an offer for south of 800 hours/year (fluctuating for seasonal ebb and flow, of course), and I’m curious whether it’s a decent offer or not. I have 13 years of experience in a big box franchise where I’ve handled complex returns from day 1. 30% of my workload has been 1120/1120S/1065 and the rest higher-level 1040s and a few 1041s & 990s. I’ll be bringing 75-100 clients with me.

Is this a side hustle?

Sort of. It’s part time because tax work isn’t so much conducive to full time when you’re prep-focused (for obvious timing reasons), and we have some outside obligations that are taking up a ton of time and energy unexpectedly, so looking to scale back for a year and assess whether to continue on the prep work, scale up on the prep work once other things settle, or leave prep work altogether. All of which has been candidly discussed with potential new employer.
