NASSAU COMMUNITY COLLEGE
BASIC TAX PREPARATION TRAINING
Gain Valuable Skills in a 3-Week Boot Camp
Are you interested in a great seasonal work
opportunity that withstands economic fluctuations?
Consider becoming a tax preparation professional.
Nassau Community College, in partnership with Jackson Hewitt,
is offering a three week course in Basic Tax Preparation taught by
a seasoned tax professional. In this course students will be taught
the fundamentals of completing U.S. tax returns (Federal and State)
and during the last class session will take Jackson Hewitt’s course
exam to earn a certificate of course completion. The course will
also prepare students to take the NY State certifying exam when it
becomes available. When the NY State certifying exam is available
Tax Preparers will have three years to pass this exam.
To work as a professional Tax Preparer, an individual must register
with New York State (including responding to background check
related questions), complete an additional 16 CEUS (offered for free
and online by NYS) and pay a $100 fee to New York State.
COVERED INCLUDE:
• Filing requirements and filing status
• Exemptions and dependents
• Income categories and adjustments
• Capital gains and losses
• Standard and itemized deductions
• Tax credits
• Filing a return, refunds and payments
• Practices, procedures, and ethics
The tax preparation industry employs well over
300,000 people, generates over $9 billion in revenue,
and is expected to grow 4 percent annually through
2018. Given its seasonality (the four months before
April 15, the day on which income tax returns are due
for individuals), becoming a tax preparer offers steady
work on a part-time basis.
Even as tax prep computer software becomes more
accessible, largely 80% of tax returns continue to
be prepared and filed through tax preparation
professionals. The IRS estimates that there will
be over 250 million tax returns filed by 2018, likely
providing a consistent demand for tax preparers.
Taxpayers need tax professionals to help them through
the filing process. Get trained in the Federal and NY
State tax code and learn to help clients maximize their
refunds.
