    Recent economic changes make it more important than ever for taxpayers to claim all of the credits and deductions due to them and to pay no more than the exact amount of taxes they owe. As a result, qualified tax preparers are in high demand. Learn to prepare tax returns for individuals, small business corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. In fact, you can start working and earning money while completing the program. After successfully finishing just the first two modules in the Chartered Tax Professional Certificate Program, you’ll be qualified to prepare individual tax returns for almost all U.S. taxpayers.
     

    Prerequisite:
    A high school diploma or equivalent is a prerequisite for this program. Accounting and specific math skills aren’t required, just the aptitude to work with numbers and people and to read and interpret the tax laws.This program is suitable for all adults who seek a fast track to a professional white-collar career. Tax preparation is especially appealing to those who would enjoy helping other people by making the intimidating task of tax preparation a pleasant experience, while saving their clients money by minimizing their tax liabilities.

    • Complete Comprehensive Tax Course (located within program)
    • Register with the IRS and get a PTIN
    • Begin preparing tax returns as a tax preparer

     

    Upon successful completion of the program, you will be able to:

     

    • Practice as a qualified tax professional
    • Prepare tax returns for all individual U.S. taxpayers
    • Prepare small businesses corporate, partnership, and sole-proprietor tax returns

    • Provide tax planning for individuals and small business owners
    • Meet the IRS e-File and due diligence requirements for tax practitioners

    The Steps to Becoming a CTP

    1. Successfully complete The Income Tax School series of six 30-hour Income Tax Programs (four additional Programs beyond the 60-hour Comprehensive Tax Program). An average grade of at least 80% must be attained (our adult students average 90%+).

    2. Meet the experience requirement of working at least two tax seasons (a minimum of 500 hours) as a tax preparer while in the program (prior tax preparation experience will count for experienced tax professionals who test out of the basic and/or intermediate programs).

    After completing this comprehensive certificate program, you’ll be well prepared to handle almost any individual and small business income tax situation you encounter. You’ll also be ready to take the next step in your career as a tax professional by preparing for and taking the IRS Enrolled Agent (EA) exam.
