Yes, it is that time of year again and I’ve seriously thought about learning how to become a tax preparer. I can not believe the amount of money some people I know have been telling me that they are paying to have their taxes prepared, in order to get the biggest refund they can. Most of the time, if they even took their taxes things to just a regular person who know how to prepare the tax forms, they would still get the same amount of money back, but in hopes of getting a higher amount, they still spend all that money. To me, it’s rather senseless, but hey…it’s their choice.
I think if I were to become a Registered IRS Preparer, I’d have a good shot at making a decent income once a year. It’s something I’ve thought about before. Like when my husband took our tax things to this one person who charged an arm and a leg, just to tell us that we had to pay in to the IRS. That was a total bummer.
I really don’t like surprises, so I think that if I were able to prepare our own taxes, it would save me the surprise of not knowing if who does our taxes is going it right or not. I’d be the one preparing them, so I’d know if the numbers were right and if our refund was correct. There is other great information about tax courses that are really helpful.
