Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need a PTIN or any license?
Every paid preparer must have an IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). We walk you through applying for one during training. Texas does not require a separate state license.
How long does the training take?
It's self-paced. Most students finish in two to four weeks studying part time, and you can start earlier if you're ready.
Is the $499 a one-time fee?
Yes. The $499 covers your training course, marketing materials, website listing and access to our tax software and CRM for the season.
Can I do this while working another job?
Absolutely. Most of our team started part time. The software is cloud-based, so you can work evenings and weekends from home.
Take the first step toward financial independence.
