The job description

micro1 is engaging Tax Practitioners, Federal Individual Income Tax (CPA/EA/Tax Attorney)s to participate in a project supporting a customer. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

Read and interpret federal individual income tax law, including the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury regulations, and IRS guidance at the level of specific subsections and provisions.
Develop precise rubrics and checklists that define the requirements a correct answer must satisfy, grounded strictly in authoritative sources.
Assign technical severity to each requirement, accurately distinguishing between critical, secondary, and minor elements.
Review and evaluate AI-generated tax analyses and computations, scoring each response against your criteria for accuracy and completeness.
Compose detailed, self-contained test scenarios (including edge cases) for criteria that fail, specifying facts, dates, filing status, and expected results.
Identify and flag ambiguities, statutory exceptions, or conflicts in the law or guidance, providing structured written feedback within the digital review platform.
Submit clear, structured written evaluations to support ongoing system improvement.

Preferred Qualifications

Active CPA license, Enrolled Agent designation, or experience as a US tax attorney with federal individual income tax focus.
Extensive hands-on experience preparing or planning federal personal income tax matters for individuals.
Demonstrated ability to read, analyze, and interpret the Internal Revenue Code, regulations, and related guidance beyond simple return preparation.
Proficiency with legal logic constructs, such as conditions, thresholds, phase-outs, exceptions, and defined terms.
Exceptional written communication skills with an emphasis on clarity, objectivity, and reproducibility of criteria and outcomes.
Familiarity with complex return issues such as investments, self-employment income, equity compensation, rental property, or multi-state/international items.
Interest in the intersection of tax compliance and technology, especially as it relates to AI and digital review platforms.
