Flex Time Remote Tax Resolution specialists focus on resolving tax issues for clients, often requiring advanced credentials like EA or CPA, and work remotely with flexible hours. Tax Preparers primarily assist with filing taxes, usually with PTIN registration, and may work in offices or remotely during tax season. While both roles involve tax work, resolution specialists handle complex issues, whereas preparers focus on tax filing assistance.
