What Do You Need to Become a Tax Preparer?
To become a tax preparer, you generally need to:
- Gain Knowledge: While you don’t need a formal college degree in accounting or finance, understanding the basics of taxes and tax forms is crucial. Many tax preparers take courses or attend training programs to learn the necessary skills.
- Get Experience: Some people begin by working for a tax preparation company (like H&R Block or TurboTax) to gain hands-on experience. Others might choose to start their own practice after gaining a basic understanding of taxes.
- Get Certified: While certification is not always required, having professional certifications can make you more competitive in the job market.
Tip: Look for online courses or community college programs that offer tax preparation training. These can be a cost-effective way to learn the ropes and gain the knowledge you need to start.
