Why this career

Real earnings. Real flexibility.

The IRS reports over 700,000 preparers filing returns each year — clients need more preparers, not fewer.
Set your own hours during tax season and work virtually from anywhere in the U.S.
Charge $150–$500+ per return once you're established. 200 returns/year is a solid side income.
Add credentials over time (AFSP, EA, CPA) to grow your rate and unlock representation rights before the IRS.
Every dollar of prep fees stays with you — no franchise fees, no upline splits.
Own tax knowledge for life. Even if you never file for clients, you'll save thousands on your own returns.
