The JustAnswer story

What Finance Experts are saying about JustAnswer

		“I love answering questions on the JustAnswer platform because I can help customers with their tax questions/concerns. Many individuals are intimidated by the IRS and/or believe they have a problem that cannot be resolved, but usually, everything is fixable in "tax land." I also enjoy the flexibility of working whatever hours I want at any time of the day or night. " — *Barbara, Tax & Finance Expert since 2012*
