Got Questions?
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED — Starting a tax business can feel overwhelming when you're new. In this free webinar, I break down the most common questions beginners have about experience, time, software, clients, mistakes, and what it really takes to get started before tax season.
Do I need tax experience to start?
No, this training is built for beginners. You'll learn what you need to know, how the tax prep process works, and how Real Tax Pro Academy helps you build confidence step by step.
How much time do I need?
You'll need approximately 18-22 hours to complete the course. So 5 hours per week can have the course finished in 3-4 weeks.
Is tax software included?
Yes. Real Tax Pro Academy includes access to professional tax software so you can learn inside a real system instead of trying to figure everything out alone.
How do I find clients?
Most new tax preparers start with people they already know: friends, family, coworkers, church, community, and referrals. The academy also gives you marketing tools and guidance to help you start getting clients.
What if I make a mistake?
Mistakes can happen, especially when you're new. That's why proper training, due diligence, professional software, and having support are so important. If an error is discovered, a tax return can often be corrected by filing an amended return. It's also smart for tax professionals to consider Errors & Omissions (E&O) insurance for added protection as they build their business. The goal is to help you understand the process, reduce avoidable mistakes, and know how to handle issues professionally if they come up.
Should I start now?
Yes. Starting now gives you time to learn the foundation, get comfortable with the software, and understand the process before tax season begins. Waiting until January usually means trying to learn everything under pressure.
