To start you could take cases that are simple tax returns typical of a single or married couple that have jobs but little in the way of investments and part time businesses.
A great way to get going once you have taken a course is to work for another tax preparer to gain experience and have a good source of advice.
None of this is rocket science and almost anyone who applies themselves can do it. You'll be saving your own tax prep fees and if you do a few for a normal fee you may pay for the course in the first tax season.
The bonus is that you will be better able to find your own tax advantages and opportunities. |
There are several online schools that offer tax preparation courses. These are good if you have a job and need to learn at your own pace. Some have time limits.
