Starting your own home-based tax preparer business is easier than you think.  The most important thing you need is good solid tax knowledge, which is available online, 24/7 with instructor support at www.theincometaxschool.com.  There are a few states that regulate/license tax preparers.  So, before you go any further you will want to verify if your state is one of them and what the requirements are.  We can help you determine if your state has additional requirements.

After successfully completing the 60-hour Comprehensive Income Tax Course at The Income Tax School, (most students finish in just 10 weeks or less) you will be qualified to prepare individual tax returns for almost all U.S. taxpayers.  New This Year: The IRS has just decided to regulate tax preparers, which will require that you pass a basic competency exam to confirm your tax knowledge. Then you must register as a tax preparer and take 15 hours of continuing education each year going forward. Continuing education is a great thing as it will help you increase your tax knowelege and remain current with the tax code. If you wish to prepare business tax returns, you will also need to take a tax course on small business income tax. There is a different IRS competency exam you will need to pass if you are planning to prepare business tax returns.  The Small Business Level I Tax Course (most students finish in just 5 weeks or less) at The Income Tax School will meet the small business requirements for the IRS exam.  Once you are a registered Tax Preparer you will have your own home-based tax preparer business up and running in a very short time!
