Today more than ever, people are relying on paid tax professionals to handle their income tax preparation and other business affairs. Even with tax preparation software in full force there is increasing demand for tax professionals.

More than 75 million individual taxpayers use a paid tax professional every year!

• Each year tax laws continue to get more complicated.

• Shorter deadlines, competing priorities, endless meetings, wireless Internet, and cell phones all contribute to creating a more time-starved world.

As we struggle with managing the elusive resource of “time”, coupled with ever changing tax laws, delegation of tax preparation becomes a higher priority. Many people are turning to professional tax preparers for assistance.

E-filing, automation and even demographic changes have also created new opportunities in the tax preparation industry. Many people with spare time available during tax season — including early retirees, homemakers, career changers, college students and moonlighting professionals — are learning to meet this growing demand through income tax courses developed by The Income Tax School.  After just one 10-week tax course, you can start earning income and continue to grow in the field by continuing your tax education. A New Career in Just Weeks!
