Not quite sure I understand what Intuit is offering here....they have people you can hire for $50/hr to do your work for you?

You get top notch people that have spare time this time of year to help you out.  Wait a second maybe they aren’t quite the top of the top if they have that much spare time.  I know a couple of preparers that used the service and said it worked out pretty well for awhile but the people they hired were involved in a car crash and suddenly stopped working.

It appears to be a prototype at this time, but seems as though its a "matchmaking" service to allow pro's to connect w/ other pro's for help in season or whenever needed.

Something similar to the TurboTax Live CPA assistance?

I don't think so, think this is more so like, you need someone to come in and help w/ data entry for a couple weeks during biz deadline for example, you can use that service to find someone who has experience using your software, and doing biz returns and we (intuit) "back them" so that the work is guaranteed, is what i gather from it.

I have struggled a little bit this year since we only get to deduct pirate plank costs as a misc itemized deduction on MN, not the federal.

Interesting.  "Screened by Intuit".  What does that really mean, so what can the hiring firm expect?

I think validating credentials and a user of the software, beyond that I can't confirm

I'm just curious, what kind of credentials are required for someone to be in the love connection pool?  Since Intuit looks at the CPA/EA for tax stuff related to TurdoTax, I assume you are referring to those type of credentials, but what about the bookkeeping/payroll side of things?

I am not sure, to be honest.  I can take this back but again, right now, believe this is just a prototype, and as more details emerge, I'll share with you guys. :+1::+1:

Thanks, Ashley, but I wouldn't call it a prototype since it's already live. :smile::smile:

So I could hire someone for $50/hr to prepare this messy SCorp return that makes me crazy every year, but I feel bad for the guy since hes such a clueless mess I don't have the heart to kick him to the curb....sounds like a bargain to me!

Send the return to me.  I'll do it for $49.95/hour.  That sounds like a better rate than I get helping out here :smile::smile:

On second thought, we might have a couple of those clients in our portfolio.  Are you interested in making $49.99 to prepare them :wink::wink:
