This is a group for people who want to learn to "do income taxes for the public." It will cost only what the materials for the class costs which may be actually free if the information can be downloaded. In any case, this course is set up to teach electronic tax preparation with a specific tax software, Drake...the cadillac of the industry. THE software IS free. You will be taught from my book and from IRS materials, as well as the software. There will be chat interchanges at specific times to answer questions. You will need a laser printer. If you really want to learn a new profession....you can...and if you really want to make money, you can. All Drake users are invited to have their new people take advantage of this board for their training purposes. This is good elementary training for supervised tax preparation. Your inquiry is invited. Bob Mitchell...
