WageScope divides the published Tax Preparers median by the BEA all-items index. This is a price-level comparison, not take-home pay, a personal budget, or a quality-of-life score.
Use the local pay range, same-source bench marks, job scale, price level, and survey care marks as separate facts. This guide stays tied to SOC 13-2082 and BLS area 54.
Questions, answered
Tax Preparers pay in West Virginia: common questions
What is the median wage for Tax Preparers in West Virginia?
The May 2025 BLS OEWS release published a median of $35,880 per year for Tax Preparers in West Virginia. This describes an occupation-area estimate, not a promised offer or an individual's pay.
Is Tax Preparers pay higher in West Virginia than nationally?
West Virginia's published median was 34.7% below the U.S. median for the same occupation and release.
Does the wage estimate adjust for cost of living in West Virginia?
No. The BLS wage is nominal. WageScope separately shows BEA's 2024 all-items Regional Price Parity of 89.5 and a transparent national-price-dollar proxy.

What the Tax Preparers median says in West Virginia
The May 2025 BLS OEWS estimate puts the Tax Preparers median in West Virginia at $35,880 per year. Median means the middle of the published wage spread. It is not one worker's pay. It is not a job offer. The row is tied to SOC 13-2082 and BLS area 54.
BLS lists 330 wage and salary jobs for this exact role-place row. That is a survey estimate. It is not a count of open posts. The local mean is $40,320 per year. Mean uses all wage values behind the estimate, so high or low values can move it away from the median.
West Virginia's Tax Preparers median is 34.7% below the U.S. Tax Preparers median of $54,920 on the same published median. The comparison uses the same SOC code and source period. It does not add price levels, taxes, benefits, hours, or a person's work history.
This page exists because the BLS artifact has one row for SOC 13-2082 and area 54. SOC 13-2082 names Tax Preparers. Area 54 names West Virginia. Both keys must match before WageScope can show or index this answer.
The 13-2082/54 row reports 330 wage and salary jobs, 0.47 jobs per 1,000 local jobs, and a 0.96 location quotient. Each value stays under the same two source keys.
For 13-2082/54, the annual median is $35,880 per year, while the matching mean is $40,320 per year. The row is published with annual and hourly fields. WageScope does not switch units to fill a blank.
Area 54 reports 701,610 wage and salary jobs across all covered occupations. Its annual mean is $56,470. Its annual median is $45,300. The employment RSE is 0%. The mean-wage RSE is 0.3%. These are facts for the whole area. They do not replace the 13-2082 row.
The all-jobs wage ladder in West Virginia runs from $26,070 at the 10th percentile to $98,220 at the 90th percentile. The 25th percentile is $31,530. The median is $45,300. The 75th percentile is $64,940. This is a place check, not a pay range for Tax Preparers.
The source rows below are the six largest detailed roles in the bounded area file. Each keeps its own SOC code. They help a reader spot-check area 54. They do not show related skills or a path into Tax Preparers.
1. Area 54, SOC 29-1141, Registered Nurses: 23,430 jobs, $80,130 annual median, 33.39 jobs per 1,000, and 1.54 location quotient.
2. Area 54, SOC 41-2031, Retail Salespersons: 19,050 jobs, $28,950 annual median, 27.15 jobs per 1,000, and 1.08 location quotient.
3. Area 54, SOC 31-1120, Home Health and Personal Care Aides: 18,890 jobs, $28,010 annual median, 26.92 jobs per 1,000, and 0.97 location quotient.
4. Area 54, SOC 41-2011, Cashiers: 17,360 jobs, $26,370 annual median, 24.75 jobs per 1,000, and 1.25 location quotient.
Pay range
Read the West Virginia wage ladder for Tax Preparers
The 10th percentile is $21,880 per year. The 25th percentile is $29,840 per year. The median is $35,880 per year. The 75th percentile is $40,240 per year. The 90th percentile is $63,760 per year.
A percentile is a rank point, not a career stage. The 10th percentile does not mean new-worker pay. The 90th percentile does not mean a wage that comes after a set number of years. The points show how the wage values spread in the source. They do not say why one job sits at one point.
The middle half runs from $29,840 per year to $40,240 per year. The 10th-to-90th span is $41,880. Use the full ladder when a job post sits far from the median.
West Virginia has a annual median of $35,880 per year. No exact state row is linked for this area. The U.S. row has $54,920 per year. WageScope keeps annual and hourly values apart.
A state comparison is not available for West Virginia. West Virginia is 34.7% below the United States on the same published median. A gap can reflect many things that are not in this row. WageScope reports the gap but does not name a cause.
The state and U.S. rows are bench marks, not replacements. They do not fill missing local facts. A state can hold many local labor markets. A national row can hold many states. Read the local row first, then use the broader rows to see scale.
West Virginia ranks 46 of 49 among states and territories with a published annual median for Tax Preparers. The list keeps one SOC code, one map type, one wage metric, and one BLS release. It skips rows without the matching median.
Rank 46 of 49 is not a place score. A small wage gap can move a row several spots. The rank does not add local prices, job count, concentration, commute, taxes, or work rules. Use it only to find where the published median falls inside this like-for-like set.
The nearby rows below are the closest ranks, not chosen cities. Their pay, job counts, and local shares can differ. Open a peer page before making a deeper comparison. A title and one number are not enough for a move or pay choice.
43. New Mexico has a Tax Preparers median of $38,060 per year, 340 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.8.
44. Kentucky has a Tax Preparers median of $36,620 per year, 1,080 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 1.09.
45. Tennessee has a Tax Preparers median of $36,600 per year, 1,260 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.78.
47. Arkansas has a Tax Preparers median of $35,040 per year, 550 estimated jobs, and a location quotient of 0.86.
48. Hawaii has a Tax Preparers median of $34,720 per year, Not published estimated jobs, and a location quotient of Not published.
Pay leaders
Where Tax Preparers medians lead among states and territories
The rows below use the same SOC 13-2082, the same annual median, the same May 2025 BLS release, and the same state map type. New York has the highest published median in this set, at $71,850 per year. West Virginia sits at $35,880 per year.
A pay lead is one fact. It does not show the size of the job base. It does not show how common Tax Preparers is in the local mix. It also does not add local prices. The bullets keep the median, job count, and location quotient together so a high wage is not read as a full market score.
Use this list to choose a deeper pair, not to choose a place. Open the two local pages. Check the full wage ladder, the job scale, the survey care marks, and the exact BEA price row when present. A missing median stays out of this rank instead of becoming zero.
1. New York has a Tax Preparers median of $71,850 per year, or $35,970 above West Virginia. BLS lists 7,620 jobs there, compared with 330 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 1.6.
2. California has a Tax Preparers median of $70,030 per year, or $34,150 above West Virginia. BLS lists 10,270 jobs there, compared with 330 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 1.15.
3. Utah has a Tax Preparers median of $66,720 per year, or $30,840 above West Virginia. BLS lists 1,190 jobs there, compared with 330 in West Virginia. The location quotient is 1.4.
Job-base leaders
Where BLS counts the most Tax Preparers jobs
California has the largest published state job estimate for Tax Preparers in this same-source set, at 10,270 jobs. West Virginia has 330. The count shows covered job scale, not open posts.
A large job base can have a lower median than a smaller one. It can also have a location quotient near or below 1. That is why WageScope does not blend job count, pay, and local share. Each field keeps its name and unit. The rows below let you compare all three without making one score.
Current MeritLog listings can add a dated view of employer-title matches. They do not change this May 2025 order. A place with few current cards can still have a large BLS job estimate. A place with several cards can still have a smaller estimate. The sources use different clocks and scopes.
1. California has 10,270 estimated Tax Preparers jobs, a gap of 9,940 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $70,030 per year, or $34,150 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 1.15.
2. New York has 7,620 estimated Tax Preparers jobs, a gap of 7,290 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $71,850 per year, or $35,970 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 1.6.
3. Texas has 6,010 estimated Tax Preparers jobs, a gap of 5,680 jobs from West Virginia. Its median is $47,460 per year, or $11,580 above West Virginia. Its location quotient is 0.87.
Local-share leaders
Where Tax Preparers takes the largest share of local jobs
Nevada has the highest published location quotient in this state set, at 1.85. West Virginia has 0.96. A value above 1 means the role's local job share is larger than its national share.
A high quotient can come from a small local job base. It does not prove more jobs, more posts, faster growth, or higher pay. The bullets keep each quotient beside its BLS job count and median. This lets a reader see when the three measures point in different ways.
Use this list to ask where Tax Preparers is a large part of the local mix. Use the employment list to ask where BLS counts the most jobs. Use the pay list to ask where the median is highest. None of those lists decides where a person should work.
1. Nevada has a location quotient of 1.85, a gap of 0.89 from West Virginia. BLS lists 1,410 Tax Preparers jobs and a median of $60,000 per year, or $24,120 above West Virginia.
2. Oregon has a location quotient of 1.64, a gap of 0.68 from West Virginia. BLS lists 1,590 Tax Preparers jobs and a median of $61,370 per year, or $25,490 above West Virginia.
3. New York has a location quotient of 1.6, a gap of 0.64 from West Virginia. BLS lists 7,620 Tax Preparers jobs and a median of $71,850 per year, or $35,970 above West Virginia.
Job scale and share
How common Tax Preparers is in West Virginia
BLS lists 330 Tax Preparers jobs in West Virginia. It also lists 0.47 jobs per 1,000 local jobs. Jobs per 1,000 turns the count into a rate. It helps compare places of different size. It does not show open posts or hiring speed.
The location quotient is 0.96. A value of 1 means Tax Preparers has the same share of local jobs as it has across the nation. This row is the same than 1. The quotient is a share check, not a wage or a growth measure.
Read the three values as separate facts. Employment asks how many covered jobs BLS estimated. Jobs per 1,000 asks how much of the local job base the role takes. Location quotient asks how that share compares with the national share. None of them tells you how many posts are open today.
The all-occupations median in West Virginia is $45,300 per year. The Tax Preparers median is $35,880 per year. Tax Preparers is 20.8% below the local all-occupations median on the same published median. This compares one role with the full covered job mix.
The nearby role medians below come from the bounded detailed-role table for West Virginia. They are close by wage, not by task. A small wage gap does not mean two jobs need the same skill or lead to the same career. Official titles keep their own SOC codes and source rows.
Use the list to spot the local wage mix around Tax Preparers. Then open the role page you mean. A role can have a similar median and a very different job count or local share. The pay number alone cannot show fit, demand, or a path between jobs.
1. Waiters and Waitresses, SOC 35-3031, has a West Virginia median of $35,380 per year. BLS lists 8,600 jobs and a location quotient of 0.84.
2. Nursing Assistants, SOC 31-1131, has a West Virginia median of $36,720 per year. BLS lists 9,390 jobs and a location quotient of 1.44.
3. Office Clerks, General, SOC 43-9061, has a West Virginia median of $35,020 per year. BLS lists 9,430 jobs and a location quotient of 0.85.
Area job mix
The largest detailed roles in West Virginia
Registered Nurses is the largest detailed occupation in the bounded West Virginia table, at 23,430 jobs. Tax Preparers has 330 jobs in its exact role-place row. The two counts show where this role sits beside other large parts of the local job base.
The all-occupations job count is 701,610. The detailed list below is only a bounded view of that larger mix. It does not sum to every local job. It does not include a blank role as zero. It helps explain why one role's wage and job count should not stand in for the whole area.
A large role can have a lower median. A smaller role can have a higher one. Job count does not show current posts, job quality, or growth. Use the list to see local scale. Then keep Tax Preparers's own median, spread, and share in their own fields.
1. Registered Nurses has 23,430 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 23,100 from Tax Preparers. Its median is $80,130 per year, or $44,250 above Tax Preparers. Its location quotient is 1.54.
2. Retail Salespersons has 19,050 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 18,720 from Tax Preparers. Its median is $28,950 per year, or $6,930 below Tax Preparers. Its location quotient is 1.08.
3. Home Health and Personal Care Aides has 18,890 jobs in West Virginia, a gap of 18,560 from Tax Preparers. Its median is $28,010 per year, or $7,870 below Tax Preparers. Its location quotient is 0.97.
Area pay mix
Published role medians around West Virginia
General and Operations Managers has the highest published median in the bounded West Virginia role table, at $82,500 per year. Tax Preparers has $35,880 per year. This puts the role beside a local pay range without blending the source rows.
The local all-occupations median is $45,300 per year. A role above that mark is not better. A role below it is not worse. The mark only shows where the role's published median sits against the full covered job mix. Job tasks, level, hours, and work setting are separate facts.
The bullets keep each SOC title, job count, median, and local share together. Use them to find a role page worth opening. Do not use a close median as proof that two roles share skills or that one is a path to the other.
1. General and Operations Managers has a median of $82,500 per year in West Virginia, or $46,620 above Tax Preparers. BLS lists 15,300 jobs, compared with 330 for Tax Preparers. Its location quotient is 0.97.
2. Registered Nurses has a median of $80,130 per year in West Virginia, or $44,250 above Tax Preparers. BLS lists 23,430 jobs, compared with 330 for Tax Preparers. Its location quotient is 1.54.
3. First-Line Supervisors of Construction Trades and Extraction Workers has a median of $80,060 per year in West Virginia, or $44,180 above Tax Preparers. BLS lists 5,380 jobs, compared with 330 for Tax Preparers. Its location quotient is 1.47.
Area role shares
Roles with the largest local share in West Virginia
Cooks, Fast Food has the highest location quotient in the bounded West Virginia role table, at 5.7. Tax Preparers has 0.96. Both values compare a local job share with the matching national share.
A quotient above 1 means the role takes a larger share of local jobs than it does across the nation. It does not mean more jobs than every other role. It does not mean open posts, growth, or high pay. The job count and median beside each row answer those other narrow questions.
The local role-share mix can differ a lot from the pay mix. Read both lists. Then compare Tax Preparers with the same SOC code in another place. This keeps a broad area pattern from replacing the exact role-place row.
1. Cooks, Fast Food has a location quotient of 5.7 in West Virginia, a gap of 4.74 from Tax Preparers. BLS lists 16,490 jobs and a median of $23,120 per year, or $12,760 below Tax Preparers.
2. Operating Engineers and Other Construction Equipment Operators has a location quotient of 3.63 in West Virginia, a gap of 2.67 from Tax Preparers. BLS lists 7,830 jobs and a median of $51,300 per year, or $15,420 above Tax Preparers.
3. Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses has a location quotient of 2.07 in West Virginia, a gap of 1.11 from Tax Preparers. BLS lists 6,050 jobs and a median of $55,360 per year, or $19,480 above Tax Preparers.
Price-level view
What $35,880 may mean after the West Virginia price level
BEA's 2024 all-items price index for West Virginia is 89.5. The U.S. level is 100. The local level is 10.5% below that mark. This is a broad price comparison. It is not a personal budget.
WageScope divides the $35,880 Tax Preparers median by 89.5 divided by 100. The result is $40,091 in national-price dollars per year. This proxy keeps the math clear. It is not take-home pay and does not set a move target.
Housing is 54.2. Goods are 96.5. Utilities are 92.2. Other services are 99.9. The parts do not move as one. WageScope uses BEA's all-items index for the proxy and does not make its own basket.
The employment RSE for this Tax Preparers row is 18%. The mean-wage RSE is 6%. RSE means relative standard error. It is a survey precision flag. A smaller value often means less sampling uncertainty. It is not the chance that one person's pay is right or wrong.
The employment RSE belongs to the 330 job estimate. The mean-wage RSE belongs to the $40,320 mean. BLS does not give the same RSE field for the median or every percentile. WageScope does not move an RSE from one field to another.
A local row can change in a new release. A small role-place sample can also have more survey uncertainty than a broad national row. Keep the May 2025 date next to the value. Do not mix a newer job post with the BLS date as if both facts came from one clock.
The job block looks for strict employer-title matches to Tax Preparers. It uses a West Virginia place filter only when the public place list has an exact approved match. If that match is not safe, the page says the jobs are not narrowed to this place. A false negative is safer than showing a different role.
Each card keeps its employer, place, source, and seen date. Listings can change between visits while the survey figures stay tied to their release date. A listing range does not replace the $35,880 BLS median. The listing and survey answer different questions.
Open one listing. Check its level, work place, pay range, and needs. Then tailor with work facts you can support. Do not turn a wage, job count, rank, or price proxy into a résumé claim. The public page is read only. It does not save a job or start a draft on load.
What the Tax Preparers row for West Virginia does not claim
The row does not say what one person earns. It does not promise a job, offer, raise, or move result. It does not say why the local median differs from the U.S. row. It does not add tips, bonus pay, stock, benefits, taxes, or work hours unless those items are in the BLS wage measure.
The 330 job estimate is not a live opening count. The location quotient of 0.96 is not a growth score. Rank 46 of 49 is not a place score. The 89.5 price index is not a personal budget.
Use the row for one clear task. Read the May 2025 wage spread for SOC 13-2082 in BLS area 54. Compare the same metric with the state and U.S. rows. Add the separate 2024 price level when present. Inspect a dated job match. Then use confirmed work facts for a résumé.
BLS published an employment estimate of 330 wage and salary jobs for this exact row. It is a survey estimate, not a current opening count or forecast.
Are the current job listings included in the BLS wage calculation?
No. MeritLog shows eligible live public-catalog listings separately, with their own source and observation date. Posted pay never changes the official BLS distribution.
