Tax Attorney

$100–170/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: US
Field: Legal

Review tax law scenarios and AI-generated legal work for accuracy, completeness, and sound legal reasoning. This remote contractor role is limited to US-based attorneys with a J.D., an active US bar license, and more than three years of substantive legal practice.

The work

You will analyze tax law scenarios, identify material issues and risks, and review AI-generated analyses, arguments, and documents. Day-to-day tasks include finding legal errors, recognizing missing facts or authorities, assessing the completeness of the reasoning, and writing structured corrections that can improve model outputs.

What screening will assess

Expect verification of your J.D., active bar status, and substantive practice history, followed by detailed questions about matters you have personally handled. The screen is likely to test tax issue-spotting, use of controlling authority, review of legal documents, treatment of uncertainty, and your ability to distinguish a plausible answer from a legally supportable one. Experience with federal or state taxation, tax compliance, tax planning, IRS matters, tax disputes, or complex tax transactions is preferred, and an LL.M. in Taxation is a plus. Excellent written English communication is required.

Working arrangement

This is a remote contractor role for candidates based in the United States only. The listing does not specify whether work is asynchronous, a fixed schedule, project length, or typical weekly hours, so candidates should be ready to state their reliable availability and clarify scheduling expectations before accepting work.

Included with this listing

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your claimed experience is verifiable and whether you exercised legal judgment rather than performing only administrative or peripheral work.
A strong answer: Give dates, practice settings, representative matter types, jurisdictions, and your specific responsibilities, while preserving client confidentiality. Distinguish work you led from work you supported and identify the tax issues you analyzed.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming broad areas such as compliance or disputes without explaining what documents they reviewed, what authorities they applied, or what decisions they owned.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.
