Default Re: Tax Preparation Course

Wow you pay to learn the H&R Block computer tax system and then they pay you to work, if and only if you pass the course. What happened to hiring someone and then training them to do the job?

That being said, I would love to do taxes for people in my spare time, but most people expect you to perform some miracles when none are possible. You have income, deductions, credits, and you pay taxes on the AGI amt. No magic there folks! Problem is most people don't plan ahead and figure out how to maximize their return until they sit down with the taxman on April 12th...Doh! 3 days to go and you want how much back and why do you think you deserve that?

I would rather be the guy who sits down with them and does a budget, savings & investment planning, and tax planning versus the person who is expected to wave the magic wand over a year of poor planning.
