My advice to people interested in working at #HBlockInc.//Jackson ...
Take the course because it can be an exciting job even though it is only 4 months out of the year and you get to learn how the government works when it comes to us paying taxes. There is room for advancement and the higher you advance the more money you and you get to establish your own client base. No one can establish your client base for you. You can start with your family, relatives, friends, coworkers, or even people you don't even know and they will continually return to you each year and you get to add on as you work each year.
My aunt works for HR Block and she loves it. I'm glad you enjoy it as well. Best of luck to you.
If you don't want to work for H&R Block, Jackson Hewitt or any other tax prep group/employer, you can work at AARP filing out tax forms for seniors. I am not sure what AARP will pay, but you set your own hours & days. They set up 2 or 3 days per week for someone to start. You can set the hours you want to be at the Senior center or wherever they want you to go, after that.
Ok
There is one small corrupting aspect to the job. The entire industry is against simplifying taxes.
When and how can I take classes?will this course work help me find the other job?
Hi Linda, Tax preparation is something that is good to know. Just for the simple reason, you can save money and do your own. In addition however, I have noticed that around tax time, I get the same phone calls every year, it can be a good source of additional income (usually only seasonal), but every now and then individuals need tax experts at other times during the year, if they are being audited, or noticed a mistake on past returns (accidentally omitted income or expenses). My concern comes in with people who have just taken these tax courses, which usually just cover the most basic returns. People taking these courses, just like any other profession, require experience for the more complex returns. And we need to remember, that whoever's return we are preparing that they are responsible for what is on that return, so mistakes are not acceptable. Nice advice though Linda. Best wishes.
