Market Force Tax Audit - A Few Questions

February 19, 2026 03:43PM
What are you all's experiences in doing these shops? Not much info given on the job listing. Mentions it could take 15-40 minutes. How long does it typically take from your experiences?

Also, what is the magic number for Make An Offer? They're currently at $12. They turned down $30 and $27. I don't have time to play games with these folks.

Lmao. I'm sure they'd accept that.

Try $20. Maybe they'll come back with $15. They are easy shops to do. I personally enjoy them.

I was assigned four shops. However, one is a virtual office. Awaiting word on this from MF but I assume it's going to be cancelled. Another office wants to verify that this is legit. I gave them the # to confirm they've been assigned for review, but haven't heard back from them yet.

Was hoping this would go a little smoother.

All the ones listed by me are $15. I signed up for one, read the guidelines, and then opted out. It said if you have tattoos that you should cover them and then alluded to the fact in the next sentence that it may be rejected if you don't look professional. While I do dress professional, I do have several facial piercings that I would rather not take out for $15 at a job about 20 miles away. I don't want to worry about it being rejected because of my facial piercings, since the guidelines didn't mention those but touched on tattoos.

I did one and it was fairly easy. A little frustrating maybe because I feel there are gray areas on how to answer the questions. And there no area to add comments about things that I would consider a security risk but that they don’t ask about. The worst part might be having to wait for a manager to be available to work with you.

I did three shops. Like you, I found that some of the answers given didn't fit neatly into 'yes' or 'no', and having an area to add comments would have been helpful. I emailed help desk with those details.

I didn't have to wait more than a few minutes to get started with any of them. They were all fairly easy. However, I forgot to ask for a business card at each location. Rookie mistake. Fortunately none of them are too far from me in case I'm asked to go back for them.

All the ones by me went up to $30 and then dropped back down to $15 today. If they go back up to $30 or higher, I might take them. No one is picking them up because they are in rural small towns with no other jobs nearby.

Avoid Market Force at all costs. They still havent paid me for my December shop, and have not responded to countless help desk requests for information/explanation. After 15+ years of their low paying shops, I just deactivated my account and filed a complaint with BBB.
