My aunt makes a living doing other people's taxes... something I could never do! She is accustomed to receiving phone calls and emails from yours truly come early April as I struggle to get our tax return completed. It's my least favorite time of the year... and I'm sure I gain a good 5 lbs the week we spend filing. I honestly find it hard to believe that the average American citizen is qualified to correctly file an income tax return without some sort of assistance. There's a lot there to know, and a lot of room to make mistakes. I truly wish Uncle Sam could simplify the process somehow! I can dream can't I? lol
If you're studying to become a tax preparer, you have my sympathies... lol, no but seriously, you must have something upstairs I don't. A love for numbers, story problems, changing tax laws and an amazing amount of patience isn't something I possess. Never will either! I'd imagine the tax preparer exam is rough too! Bravo to anyone who can pass that exam! I'm just not a numbers person.
I have a lot of respect for anyone who has taken an income tax course with the dream of becoming a registered tax preparer. I might be a little jealous too.
Have you ever taken an income tax course? Maybe you are a registered tax preparer? How long did it take to get through school and what was the exam like? Curious minds want to know!
