All of the groundwork is done and a detailed plan, including comprehensive instructor, student and operating manuals, is provided. The benefit of not only our tax knowledge, but of how to teach the course, makes implementation simple. Any owner or manager of a successful tax office should be qualified to manage a preprepared program such as the comprehensive system we provide. The teacher should have two or more years of experience in income tax preparation and be an effective communicator. Adults tend to be the most motivated and conscientious students.
Some state regulations are easy to comply with and some are difficult.
Becoming licensed can be a problem, particularly when you're just starting out, but there are alternatives to a licensed school. Some states exclude schools that do not operate for profit, or do not charge tuition, even if a fee is charged for books and materials. Many of our licensees get local community colleges, high school adult education, or licensed business schools to offer the course, buy the materials and then hire the licensee or a key employee to teach. This eliminates marketing costs and enhances credibility. Peoples taught its first income tax school course through a local community college as a three credit course and continues to conduct courses through two local community colleges.
