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
