Tax Business help?

forget the LLC, and unless you will be paying employees you do not need an EIN

you can operate as a sole proprietor

to start with you will be required to get a PTIN,that will cost you $64.25

you will be required to maintain no less than 15 hr continuing education each year for IRS

some states have some requirements, namely Calif. will require you to have 60 hrs beginning education, register with CTEC, also a fee

and require 20 hrs continuing education each year

contact the IRS - you have to take a test I think and get a license to be a paid tax preparer and prove you know what you are doing

I want to start a minor tax preparation business but I don't know if I should start a llc or a sole proprietor and how do I go about starting do I get a ein number does that come if I start an llc and which software is best for doing multiple tax returns.
