Have you ever worked for a place like H&R block during tax time? ?

Question

Can you make some good extra money during tax time? I work full time and was thinking about going to the tax school and tried to work with them during tax time.

Answer 1

Three years ago I worked for them through a temp. agency so I got paid by the temp. agency.  From what I remember, the H & R employees got paid by the hour and then also got a commission if they sold an IRA.  Anytime someone was going to get a refund we were supposed to ask if they wanted to use all or some of it to buy an IRA.  Every now and then someone buys one and the employee gets a commission but I'm not sure how much the commission is.  I'm sure the hourly amount H & R pays varies by location and probably by experience.  A couple of the employees in the office I was in had worked there for 20 years or more.  You could easily work evenings and weekends if your full time job is day shift.
