Tax Preparation Credentials Become Increasingly More Valuable

Unfortunately, not all tax preparers are created equal.  And currently no licensing is required to become a paid tax preparer.  Uncle Jo who was good at math can prepare all his nieces and nephews taxes without recourse.  Along with Uncle Jo there are fraudulent “tax preparers” who promise higher returns by committing tax fraud; they then skip town and leave their clients to deal with IRS audits. Also in the mix are hard-working, legitimate tax preparers like you who supplement their income or run a small business preparing tax returns. 

While Congress considers passing legislation that will require all tax preparers to become licensed, tax payers become suspicious of tax preparers without any credentials.  In fact, the IRS warns, “While most preparers provide excellent service to their clients, the IRS urges taxpayers to be very careful when choosing a tax preparer. Taxpayers should be as careful as they would be in choosing a doctor or a lawyer. It is important to know that even if someone else prepares a tax return, the taxpayer is ultimately responsible for all the information on the tax return.” 

So how do those hard-working tax preparers put existing clients and potential clients at ease?  They do it by earning a professional designation that demonstrates their tax preparation proficiency and competency.

The Professional Tax Preparer Designation
Universal Accounting is the only organization authorized to award Professional Tax Preparer certification. This is an exclusive designation which shows that you are proficient in personal and small-business tax preparation.  Whether you prepare taxes in your spare time or run a tax preparation business full-time, you need to create confidence in potential clients. The PTP certification gives your clients the confidence that you have mastered hands-on tax preparation with emphasis on small business tax returns.

Becoming a Professional Tax Preparer (PTP) is essential for those involved in the practical application of federal tax laws for individuals and businesses.  Upon passing the exam with a score of 90% or higher, you are awarded the PTP designation and a certificate which you can display in your office; you will also be able to add PTP to your business cards and phone listings, ensuring potential clients that you have been properly trained in tax preparation.

The Professional Tax Preparer Designation will not only inspire confidence in existing and potential clients, but it will give you peace of mind, knowing that you have been fully trained in personal and small business tax preparation.  And in addition to all this, you also will receive one full year of follow-up support from expert tax preparers.  If you encounter unfamiliar territory, or need a specific question answered, Universal Accounting Center will be there to help you.
