You Bring the Tax Expertise.
We Bring the Infrastructure.
1800 File Fast is building a nationwide network of experienced tax professionals who can accept eligible client assignments while continuing to operate their own independent tax businesses.
Expand Your Practice.
Keep Your Independence.
The 1800 File Fast Tax Professional Network connects experienced, credentialed tax professionals with eligible client assignments — without requiring you to give up your own business or client relationships.
You continue operating your independent tax practice. When you accept a 1800 File Fast client assignment, you complete the work through our designated software and platform, and you're paid on our weekly processing cycle.
60% to You.
Tax professionals in the 1800 File Fast network receive 60% of the fee collected for each eligible completed assignment. The remaining 40% is retained by 1800 File Fast.
Eligible completed work is processed according to the 1800 File Fast weekly partner payment cycle. Payment is not necessarily made during the same week the work is completed — for example, work completed on a Wednesday enters the applicable processing cycle for payment the following Friday. Full payment timeline details are covered during onboarding.
