Defender Tax Relief handles everything before the case hits your desk — marketing, intake, engagement, financials. You get a complete file, full autonomy, and $300–$4,500 per case. Paid within 5 business days. 100% remote.
Active EA credential required · 3–10 cases/month · Contractor agreement
The Problem With Solo Practice
Most EAs spend more time marketing than doing the work they're actually trained for. You're good at resolution. The IRS transcript, the 433-A, the negotiation — that's your skill set. Cold outreach and social media aren't.
We built the other half of the business so you don't have to. Defender handles everything before the case reaches you. You handle everything after. We both do what we're best at.
Compensation
No vague ranges. No "competitive pay." Here's the actual fee schedule by case type — the same one you'll see in the contractor agreement.
Most of our volume right now is Installment Agreements. An EA working 6–8 IAs per month is earning $4,500–$6,500 consistently. Add in an OIC or two and the math changes significantly.
Paid within 5 business days of each client deposit. No invoicing required.
Actual earnings depend on case mix and monthly volume.
How It Works
We cover your availability, the case types you prefer, and your monthly cap. You'll leave the call knowing exactly what working with us looks like — caseload, payment timing, file handoff process, everything. No vague answers.
15 MinutesWe send the agreement same day. It covers compensation by case type, your monthly cap, confidentiality, and how handoffs work. Most EAs sign within 48 hours. No exclusivity — you can continue other work.
Agreement Sent Same DayWe hand you a complete file. Client is signed, financials are collected, POA is ready. You pull transcripts, assess the resolution path, and work the case with full autonomy. Payment hits within 5 business days of each client deposit.
Paid Within 5 Business DaysRequirements
We keep the bar straightforward. If you check these four boxes, let's talk.
You must hold a current, active Enrolled Agent credential with the IRS. No pending revocations or disciplinary actions.
You've worked resolution cases before. You know how to pull transcripts, read a 433-A, and assess a client's resolution options without hand-holding.
We're looking for contractors who can take on a steady case flow — not just one or two a quarter. You set your cap. We fill it.
Standard independent contractor agreement covering compensation, confidentiality, and case handoff procedures. Sent same day after the call.
