Bookkeeper

If you’re a retired accountant or just good with money, you should consider becoming a tax preparer or bookkeeper. They mainly work between January and April, but this part-time gig can earn you quite a bit of money.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of May 2015, the average tax preparer made around $21.50 per hour. If you need help finding clients, you can ask your friends and family for recommendations.

Or you could even try to work for a big tax prep or accounting firm. Before you get started, you’ll need to register with the IRS and pay to get a Preparer Tax Identification Number. You also need to pass a competency test, a suitability check, and a tax compliance check.

If taxes aren’t your thing, you can work part-time for small businesses that can’t afford a full-time bookkeeper. The average bookkeeper earns over $16 per hour.

Becoming a certified bookkeeper may improve your chances of landing gigs through groups like the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers.

    The Fed haven’t changed the threshold before they tax your SS benefits since 1985!
    It’s ridiculous to tax your SS Benefits because you need to work to make ends meet.
    It’s regressive to tax the retired who earn as little as $30 K because they ddin’t accrue the Fat white collar pensions of their former bosses.
