Benefits of starting a tax business

When you have your own tax preparation business, you can work as much or as little as you want. You are your own boss. You can start out of your own home, with minimal expenses. You’ll also make a great income by adding many different services that can be easily integrated with tax preparation.
It’s easier and less expensive to learn taxes than you think

Many people shy away from taxes because they think it will be too difficult and you must be a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or have an accounting degree. Not so. You don’t even need to have a college degree to prepare taxes.

The tax preparer software available today makes tax preparation a lot easier. That being said, tax preparer software is not a substitute for tax knowledge. Tax software is only as good as the operator using it.

The most important thing you need is foundational tax knowledge, which is available online, 24/7 right here at Surgent Income Tax School. Our Comprehensive Tax Course assumes no prior tax knowledge. After completion, you’ll be qualified to prepare individual returns for almost all U.S. taxpayers. No accounting background or degree needed, just a high-school diploma or equivalent. Many of our students finish in as few as 10-12 weeks. You need basic math and people skills; we teach you everything else you need to know.
