Because 2023 is not far away, at all.

Your friend Andy Frye here, Founder & CEO of Pronto Tax School, Inc.

Asking your permission to talk about some stuff that might make us a bit uncomfortable, but we really need to think about it NOW, because it's happening fast...keep reading and let me know if you're seeing this too...

The market for tax preparation services aimed at W-2 workers, flatlined for years, is declining rapidly.

According to IRS Filing Statistics, self-prepared 1040 e-files are up 49% from 2015 - 2020.

And now, with The COVID-19 Pandemic bringing more and more tax work onto the Internet, tax pros who are focused on "relatively "simple" 1040 tax preparation are facing major potential for loss of clients and loss of earnings.

Perhaps you're already seeing this downward trend in your own tax business or tax career?

Remember how January used to be an extremely busy and profitable month, and now it's kinda slow?

Have you noticed that people under age 40 now "default" into self-preparing their taxes unless and until they have a business or some other "complication"?

Do you think that this trend away from W-2 workers using professional tax preparers is going to "stop" or "slow down," or do you think the trend is going to accelerate?

YES, I know that there are some tax professionals who are still growing and successful by focusing on 1040 tax preparation.  Absolutely, there are!  In fact, many of our Pronto Tax School Members are highly successful "Short Form Warriors."  

If that's you, and you're offering "fast & cheap" 1040 tax prep at a high volume, or you are otherwise enjoying success in serving W-2 clients and you are therefore not at all concerned about the downward trends that so many other 1040-focused tax pros are experiencing, don't let us slow your roll! 

If it's working for you, by all means, keep doing what you're doing.

Nevertheless, I think as tax professionals we all can agree, numbers speak louder than words--right?

And every single number you can look at right now tells the exact same story about this New Era of Tax:

• Demand for "relatively simple" tax preparation service is declining, rapidly.
• The do-it-yourself online software companies, a.k.a. "TurboTax® and Friends," are taking 1040 tax prep clients from tax professionals by the millions, year in and year out.
• Self-prepared e-files were up by 23% just during calendar year 2020 (Source: IRS Filing Statistics).

Ready for some good news though???

The market for helping self-employed / entrepreneur / small business owner clients with their tax needs is absolutely EXPLODING WITH OPPORTUNITIES, and here are a few simple statistics to prove the point:

• By 2020, half of all American workers will be self-employed (Source: Forbes® Magazine).  Well, here we are, it's 2020!
• 5,500 people per day join a network marketing home-based business opportunity (Source: Networking Times Magazine)
• 27 million new full-time self-employed people within the next two years (Source: Freshbooks® Accounting Software Report)
• 14 million taxpayers already in collections with IRS (high percentage are self-employed people) and the radio and TV airwaves flooded with "settle your tax debt" commercials
• Average hourly fee charged by tax professionals for preparation of an S Corporation tax return?  $759 per hour (Source: National Association of Tax Professionals® Fee Study)

This massive trend towards self-employment creates a massive opportunity for tax professionals who are prepared to capitalize...indeed, tax pros who are schooled in the "arts" of business tax work are busier than we've ever been, and getting busier every day.

However, those tax professionals who are not confident working with business tax client groups...those tax pros who have barely any business tax training, who are "learning on" their business clients and "giving it a try"...are experiencing extremely painful and expensive "learning lessons" and sometimes causing serious harm to their own clients.

"Learning on the job" with with business taxes is extremely painful and expensive.  Ask anyone who knows and they will tell you the same.

If you see these trends happening, and you want to put yourself in the best position to succeed in this New Era of Tax, the problem now becomes:

Where do you get the training you need to feel confident in working with business tax clients?

After all, the experienced CPAs, EAs, and other elite-level tax preparers who actually know how to do business tax work at an elite level are not exactly looking to help YOU compete with them, are they?  Even if they wanted to teach you, they don't have time.  They're too busy helping business clients and raking in money because demand for their services is through the roof.

Have you evaluated the other business tax training programs that are on the market today?

Are these other business tax programs taught by working tax professionals who actually do this kind of work with real clients every day and own and operate successful tax businesses TODAY (not used to do taxes or used to own a tax business 10 years ago, today)?

If you find any business tax training program other than ours that meets those crucial criteria, will you let me know?  :)

Meanwhile, I got sick of waiting for someone somewhere to teach me how to deliver elite-level service to business tax clients!

So, I teamed up with CPA Adam Shay, and he taught me how to be elite at delivering service to business tax clients.

And now, Adam and I have teamed up to teach you what we had to learn "the hard way."

With the Business Tax Verified Training Program, the business tax training you need to succeed in this New Era of Tax is now accessible and affordable for all tax pros!

And our training program happens FAST, too!

Within as little as 30 days, you can go from "novice" to "expert" in business taxes, learning in a matter of weeks what typically takes tax professionals DECADES to learn.  It took me 17 years!  We want to help you do it in 30 days!

Pardon me if I get excited, it's just that I always wanted someone to give me this kind of training, back when I was struggling through business tax situations and nobody wanted to show me the right ways to do stuff in real life...

It is our PRIVILEGE to provide a pathway for ANY tax professional to begin mastering business tax work and reap the rewards of doing so: happier clients, more earning power, less stress, and more fun for YOU.
