Course description
Rates of self-employment have been exploding in America and this trend is only accelerating.
Meanwhile, demand for relatively simple tax preparation for W-2 clients has been flat-lined and/or declining in recent years.
In 2023, will clients without a business activity even use professional tax preparers anymore?
Yes, of course, some W-2 clients will still use a professional tax preparer. But will it be the same percentage that use a professional tax preparer now? Or might that number of "W-2 only" clients decline by 20-50% over the next three years?
The Age of Robots
In an age of ever-increasing automation, a.k.a. "Robots Trying to Take Our Jobs," the answers to those questions are unknown...right?
Tax pros who assume that the "relatively simple" 1040 tax prep market will not decline by 20-50% in the next three years are playing a dangerous game. If the tax prep business is just a hobby for you, or you're about to retire anyways, maybe you can afford to play that game.
Tax pros who want to make sure we are never exposed to a 20-50% decline in our earnings, however, are making moves right now to position ourselves to not only survive, but thrive, in this New Era of Tax.
Because the way time flies nowadays, 2023 is not that far away...it'll be be here before we know it...right?
High Demand
The good news is: the demand from self-employed clients for tax and accounting services has never been stronger! And it's getting stronger every day. For the Schedule C Master, it is so, so easy to get clients, make money, and all that good stuff.
The only "catch" is: self-employed clients will drive you NUTS if you don't know how to handle us!
Unlike W-2 clients, self-employed clients don't just sit there while you do their taxes, waiting to find out how much their refund is so that they can shake your hand and say, "See you next year!"
No, self-employed clients GRILL our tax professionals.
We put your tax professionals to the test over, and over, and over again (and at any time of the year, too, doesn't matter if it's tax season or not, we will GRILL you to a crisp 24/7/365 if we sense even the slightest hint of non-mastery).
How To Win
There's only one sure way to win big with self-employed tax clients and that's to achieve Schedule C Mastery.
Not Schedule C "good enough," not Schedule C "I'll figure it out," not Schedule C "if I don't know the answer, I'll just Google it."
Mastery.
Look at today's tax industry and you will see the stark reality:
Tax pros who are working towards and achieving mastery are doing GREAT.
Tax pros who are in that "good enough" mode, sorry, good enough is not good enough when you're serving self-employed clients who are fighting for our financial lives every day of the week, every day of the year, every day of our lives.
