Starting a tax preparation business is a great opportunity to start a sustainable business while working part-time hours from anywhere! You will need a few things in order to start a tax preparation business.
Some of the items you’ll need to start your tax preparation include:
- A reliable computer
- Miscellaneous office equipment (e.g., printer, copier, scanner, and fax machine)
- Secure internet provider
- Tax preparation software
- IRS forms
- Business cards
- Office supplies
- A professional space to meet with clients
On top of these logistical needs, you and each of your employees if you expand, should obtain a PTIN. The IRS makes it easy to apply for a PTIN online. Tax preparers must renew their PTIN annually. You should apply for local permits and licenses in your county and state. You can also easily obtain an EIN number and open a business account at your bank.
