How It Works

Four steps to open for business

A clear path from your first step to your first return.

Get started

Tell us about your goals and we map out the right setup for you.

Get set up

We set up your business and walk you through your EFIN application.

Train and launch

Learn the software, then launch your marketing so clients find you.

File and grow

Serve clients all season with our team and tools behind you.

What's Included

The tech and support to run a modern office

Professional software

Prepare and e-file returns with software access through our service bureau.

Refund based fees

Clients can pay their prep fees from their refund instead of out of pocket.

CRM and automation

Automated texts and emails keep clients informed and bring them back every year.

Online booking and uploads

Clients book appointments and send documents from their phone.

Content support

Ready to use templates and guidance to help you create your content, so you can stay focused on your clients.

Ongoing support

Training before the season and a real team to call on during it.

How You Earn

Fees come from the refund, not your pocket

When your clients choose to pay from their refund, your prep fee and the bureau and transmitter fees are taken out of the refund. That means no upfront cost to your client and no per return bill to you.

1

Your client's return is filed through our bureau

2

The IRS sends the refund to the processing bank

3

Fees are paid from the refund automatically

4

Your client receives the rest of their refund

Results vary. Your income depends on your clients, pricing and effort. Refund processing fees are disclosed to every taxpayer.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need tax experience to start?

No. We walk you through setup, the software and the basics of running your office. You'll need a PTIN to prepare returns, and we'll show you how to get one.

What is an EFIN and how long does it take?

An EFIN is the number the IRS gives approved e-file providers. The application includes identity verification and fingerprinting, and approval can take up to 45 days, which is why starting early matters.

I already have an EFIN. Can I switch to Platinum?

Yes. Preparers who already have an EFIN can move to our bureau any time before or during the season. We'll handle the software setup and training.

How do I get paid?

When clients pay from their refund, your prep fee is deposited to you after the refund is processed. Clients can also pay you directly.

When does tax season start?

The IRS usually opens filing season in late January. New offices should start setting up in the fall so everything is ready on opening day.

How much does it cost?

Every office is different, so we customize your package once we learn about your goals. Click Get Started to begin.
