What is the difference between the Self-Learning Correspondence course & Instructor-Led course?

Yes. Preparing tax returns is not same as bookkeeping or accounting. Many of our students, without any accounting knowledge, do very well.

I do not have any previous knowledge of accounting. Will I still be able to comprehend the courses as much as others who have had some basics of finance/ accounts?

No. You don’t need advance math skills. Our instructors will help you to understand the concepts and rest is taken care of by calculators.

My math knowledge is rather limited. Do I need advance maths to understand the courses?

Yes . Many of our students have previous tax preparation exposure. Our courses will update your knowledge and brush up your skills to do better in your present job and expand your job market to earn more money.

I already have some exposure to tax preparation. Do I still benefit from your course?

A guide is more like a reference book. It explains and provides answers to specific question. Our courses are designed to clear the concepts of tax preparation and practical exercises will make you retain the concepts and use them later.

My friend suggested me to pick up a tax guide and learn the taxes on my own?

Many of our students do the course with the sole purpose of handling there own personal or business taxes. In fact many of them save on taxes and doing adjustments to prior years tax returns to claim deductions they didn’t know about previously.

I don’t want to work as a tax preparer? How can this course help me?

Mostly, college and university courses emphasize on theoretical aspects of taxation, resulting in many practical questions unanswered in the students’ minds. Since our objective is to make our students professional tax consultants, we discuss more of the application of tax laws than theory. We teach you how to prepare tax returns completely and accurately, with tax planning and other needed tax services.

Universities and other schools near me offer tax courses. How do they compare with yours?

No. Mere mechanical knowledge of how to fill in a tax form… what figure to put on which line, will not make you a true Tax Professional. To earn the rewards and prestige tax work offers, you must know how to search for tax savings possibilities, how to make effective use of advance tax planning strategies and how to find tax saving elections and alternatives. You will see that the SOFTRON training program superbly achieves these results.

Does your course cover tax return preparation only?

Absolutely. Tax practice is particularly well suited for older persons, not only because the work involves little physical exertion, but even more so because clients instinctively feel confident in the competence and judgment of a mature individual. Then too, tax preparation is light, enjoyable work performed in delightful working conditions at your own working pace. For the same reason, tax work constitutes an excellent part- or full-time source of income for those with physical disabilities.

Is the tax field suitable for an older or physically handicapped person?

No Problem. Classes are held days, evenings, and week-ends. You can change your class schedule according to your job schedule.

I have a rotating shift job. I can’t commit for more than 2 weeks at same time.

All exams are open book online and you have only one chance to complete the exam. If for any reason that you have to rewrite your exam, there will be a $95.00 rewrite fee.
