What questions do you have about tax prep? Here's some free resources: Free printable with all the info: finepoints.newzenler.com/f/tax-preparer-pdf TaxBiz Free Workshop: sk293.isrefer.com/go/Workshop/ML82/
Tax Preparer 1. Take a course 2. Apply to the state-board to take the test 3. Pass the 3 hour exam 4. Apply and pay for your PTIN (tax preparer number for the IRS) 5. Get a license 6. Get hired 7. Every year after that get 30 hours of continuous education
Did the H.R. Block tax course which is a great value..then did 5 years working tax prep for an "enrolled agent" accountant. When you begin taxes for small corporations you enter into the vast world of bookkeeping
I just happened on this site and this was just wonderful. My wife and I are wanting to start a business and this would be great. You were so thorough! Thank you so so much
Here in MS no education or tests are required to do bookkeeping or file taxes. Basically, a CPA is only required to audit public companies. I have a CPA, and I get more money from bookkeeping than taxes. Love the channel.
Tax biz is $3,000, or $1,997 one time payment then $37/mth thereafter. It's the same rabbit hole marketing scheme that's being played out in this new online hustle economy with everything. It's cheaper to study on your own and take the test
I’m enrolled in the H&R Block course, as I was unable to find a bookkeeping job. So I hope this puts my foot in the door. Unfortunately no office in my area does bookkeeping. I tried Intuit but never heard back from them. I’m also going to school at my local community college to get my certificate in bookkeeping.
I’m more than happy to discover this channel. I need to thank you for your time for this, particularly a fantastic watch!! I liked every little bit of it and I have subscribed you to look at new posts all the time.
This video is misleading. To become a tax preparer you simply have to sign up for a course. Many tax preparers do not have to take a test with the IRS. This video is about how to become an enrolled agent which is way different than the title of the video
Great video. I believe there’s only four states that require a state licensure for taxes, Oregon, California, Maryland and I don’t know if the other one. In Texas where I live, I don’t have to take a state licensure. With that being said, though I do have a bookkeeping business and I’m gonna try to go for the enrolled agent.
@@tayarndt I was considering doing a Gleim self-study review course for under $700, but I looked into TaxMama, and that is a nice deal, especially if you’re getting actual lectures from somebody at designated times. I’ll most likely take the self-study route, but it doesn’t hurt to know another fellow tax friend :D , if you have Discord, we can keep in contact.
@@wesjay7780 well, here’s the other thing, because I am fully blind, I find that I would rather have the audio format. In addition, some of those other platforms are not accessible for me. So yeah, if you buy tax mama let me know because I would love to set up a group.
Your videos are very informative and helpful. I am retired and would like to start a bookkeeping business. Having said that, I have a Master’s Degree in Accounting and Finance and worked in accounting for 10 of my early working years. The last 20 years was very much into IT. Now, I would like to put my education to use. Btw, I got certified as a QBO Pro Advisor. Getting clients might be the difficult part for me I guess. Would like to hear your feedback. Thank you for sharing your experiences in this line of work. God Bless!!
Hey! Congrats on getting your QBO ProAdvisor certification, Morgan thinks that's a great place to start. Morgan has several videos on how to market your bookkeeping business to find clients.

Yes, this video is based on Oregon requirements, but each state is somewhat different. Just a video to get an idea of what tax preparation is like :) -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
I hope you can help me with this question. I worked with Hrblock the last season, now I would like to start my LLC for tax preparation. I can renew my PTIN for this upcoming tax season but I’m not sure if I do have to take the continued education again since I took the 18 hours couple month ago with hrblock platform but I decide to not go back with them for next season
Hi Elias! Check out Morgan's Tax Preparer Guide (finepoints.newzenler.com/f/tax-preparer-pdf). It will show you the steps you need to take and where to start! Krista (FinePoints Admin)

I’ve been having a horrible experience trying to become a tax prep. I’ve gone to my community college which doesn’t teach it to me, it’s only online so I’ve been teaching myself everything. I’ve been trying to gain experience and it’s been exhausting and frustrating. Not to mention YOU DO NOT NEED EDUCATION TO BE A TAX PREP. I’m wasting time and money just to gain experience. 😩
I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time gaining the experience and education you need to become a tax preparer. I'll let Morgan know tax preparing is something you are looking for more information on. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hi, can I do job there as a tax preparer as I am registered with Federal Board of Revenue as tax practitioner in Pakistan and I have five year experience to efile tax returns and documentation.

You'll need to research this a bit, as Morgan lives in the US and really knows how to do it in the states. However, there are lots of Canadian bookkeepers, so if you join a few FB groups, I bet you'll find some who could help! -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
@@zacharyholland1091 Accounting can entail much more than what you would do with typical bookkeeping role. You could be handling payroll or other functions within the organization like accounts payables and receivables. I am an Enrolled Agent which allows me to represent client with the IRS and with my Account Degree background, it helps to advise clients on best practices and sort of act as an CFO for small clients. A common activity is closing the books for year end, which entails knowing how to handle closing the books for year end. Bookkeeping is a great start to lots of accounting function, which CPA's like to ignore, but is vital to the basic functioning of businesses.
Very clear explanation, thanks for the awesome video! Just to mention, if you need to batch fill tax forms for your customers, we provide a Microsoft Excel add-in to automate this - ua-cam.com/video/w6h7s8COkXA/v-deo.html

It should be a refresher on what you learned when you studied for the exam.
Did the H.R. Block tax course which is a great value..then did 5 years working tax prep for an "enrolled agent" accountant. When you begin taxes for small corporations you enter into the vast world of bookkeeping
Being an EA does not mean the person is an accountant.

She literally said "this is all within Oregon" at 1:00. A basic tax prep in Oregon is a license. The EA test is way more involved.
She said exactly what u said at the beginning lol
Wait don't you have to be certified to prepare taxes, therefore wouldn't you need to take a course then take the exam, which is what she has stated?
I'm in cali, what course do u recommend If u have any ?
@@frankayala3950 that is correct, you do not have to be certified!

I hope you can help me with this question.
I worked with Hrblock the last season, now I would like to start my LLC for tax preparation.

thanks for this video. Can everything be done online?
Got a PTIN number from IRS on 2015. Never did anything after. Do I need to start over again? What do I need to do to use my PTIN?
This may be a case-by-case basis, so we recommend reaching out to your accountant or a lawyer (or maybe even the IRS to ask) ~Lorian, FP admin
