How to Get Started with NexGen Taxes?
Background Check
Finding a trusted professional is at the top of every customer’s to-do list when embarking on a new project.
Background checks help establish trust and confidence when making hiring decisions. Background checks are provided at no cost, ensuring the safety of everyone involved. The process is simple and handled entirely on your behalf. To proceed, you must furnish a valid government-issued photo identification and maintain an active Tax Preparer, CPA license, or EA designation. Additionally, a PTIN current for the relevant filing period and an EFIN under your name or your practice’s name are necessary. As part of the verification process, we confirm the validity of your PTIN number, EFIN number, and other credentials provided during the onboarding process.
As a Pro, it is your responsibility to maintain the Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits and ensure the currency of your license. Each Tax Pro must renew their Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) and Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) for the active season to be eligible to receive leads on the platform.
We recommend that every tax professional obtains Errors and Omissions (E&O) insurance to protect against dispute liability.

What is NexGen Taxes’ Quality Commitment to their Pros?
Our Quality Commitment is our pledge to help you get hired. NexGen Taxes leads will have the following features to give you the best chance at winning the job:
- Limited competition
- Phone Number Guarantee
Read below for a summary of each feature.
Limited competition
While you want to be the only pro a customer contacts, some customers want to contact a few pros before deciding who to hire. To optimize the user experience, we have implemented a restriction where customers can only contact up to five professionals within the first four hours of their search. This delay in opening up the lead to all Pros ensures a streamlined and efficient process while allowing ample options for customers to connect with the most suitable professionals. Customers usually reach out to fewer pros, but the limit is there for unusual circumstances.
To ensure customers can find a pro, they can contact additional pros after those first four hours.
How it benefits you
By limiting competition, you have a better shot at getting hired.
Phone Number Guarantee
We’ve been hearing from our pros that having a customer provide a phone number helps them land the job, confirm job details, and contact customers. The Phone Number Guarantee is our commitment to providing phone numbers on all leads and bookings when the customer reaches out to you directly. If you have any issues, contact the Support Team, and we’ll investigate them.
How it benefits you
Customers who provide phone numbers tend to be more serious about hiring. Now, you’ll always have a way to get in touch right from the start. Once you respond to the lead, the customer’s phone number will be disclosed to you so that you can also reach them via a phone call. So, message the customer to start, and then you can decide if you’d instead call the customer going forward.
After I sign up, can I start meeting customers immediately?
Before you start meeting customers, you need to complete your profile so it helps us and our customers understand your areas of expertise. You’ll also need to add a few things to your profile (like a profile photo and a review). After setting up your profile, you can get matched with potential customers.
