A lot of tax preparers are being taught how to prepare returns but not how to protect their business. Compliance is just as important as tax knowledge. If you want longevity in this industry, learn both.

Tax pros lose money in three places nobody talks about:
โ€ข Charging less than your value because you're scared they'll leave
โ€ข Not raising prices on existing clients out of guilt
โ€ข Doing free "quick consultations" that turn into 2-hour calls
Your time is the product.
Your knowledge is the product.
Your standard is the product.
Stop giving the product away for free and wondering why your bank account doesn't match your effort.

Why most tax pros stay stuck at 50kโ€“100k.

1. They only make money during tax season. A lot of tax pros shut down mentally after April. No marketing, no offers, no strategy for the off season. If all your income depends on 4 months, your business will stay limited.

2. They never build systems. Everything depends on them. No workflows, no automation, no structure. So instead of running a business, they become trapped working inside of one.

3. They donโ€™t focus on visibility. Being good at taxes is not enough anymore. The tax pros growing fast are visible online, building trust, creating content, and staying top of mind year round.

4. They are scared to invest. Some tax pros want 6 and 7 figure results with a free mindset. No mentorship, no marketing budget, no team, no education. Growth requires investment.

5. They try to do everything alone. Trying to answer every call, prepare every return, market, onboard clients, and run the office by yourself will slow your growth. You cannot scale without leverage.

6. They donโ€™t follow up. A lot of money is lost because tax pros fail to follow up with leads, past clients, and interested people. The fortune is in the follow up.

7. They focus only on tax preparation. The tax industry is bigger than filing returns. The highest earners usually have additional revenue streams like consulting, bookkeeping, training, digital products, business services, or team preparation.

8. They lack confidence and ex*****on. Some people know enough to win already, but they overthink, hesitate, and never fully go all in. The tax pros growing fast are action takers.

9. They are not operating like real business owners. Some tax pros have businesses with no policies, no processes, no branding, and no financial goals. You cannot build a 7 figure business casually.

The truth is, most tax pros donโ€™t stay stuck because thereโ€™s no money in the industry.

They stay stuck because they never shift from being a preparer to becoming a CEO.

The Schedule C return that gets MOST preparers caught by the IRS:

It's not the missing receipts.
It's not the inflated mileage.

It's the MISSING EIN.

Here's what happens:

Client says: "I'm a sole proprietor, just put my SSN on it."

Preparer files Schedule C with SSN โ€” no EIN.

Client makes $80K. Reports $80K cash. Preparer feels safe.

Two years later โ†’ IRS pulls the file โ†’ notices NO EIN โ†’ flags for examination.

WHY?

Because IRS data systems cross-reference EINs to merchant accounts, 1099-K issuers, and payment platforms.

NO EIN = the client can't be properly tracked = audit trigger.

The fix:
โœ… Schedule C clients $50K+ โ†’ require they apply for EIN before you file
โœ… 1099-K clients of any income level โ†’ EIN strongly recommended
โœ… Document the conversation in your file note: "Discussed EIN requirement โ€” client agrees/declines"

Save this. Reference it. Protect your EFIN. ๐Ÿ‘‘

Credit tip yโ€™all not gonna like ๐Ÿ’ณ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Paying your credit card off to $0 is NOT always the move.

If everything reports $0โ€ฆ the bureaus can read that like youโ€™re not using credit at all.

Best play?
Let 1โ€“9% report, then pay it off.

Example:
$1,000 limit โ†’ let $10โ€“$90 report

Zero looks safeโ€ฆ low utilization looks strong.

Stop thinking โ€œno balance = good creditโ€
Itโ€™s HOW you use it that builds your score.

If you didnโ€™t know thisโ€ฆ youโ€™re leaving points on the table. ๐Ÿ‘€

05/01/2026

Your credit score is not just about paying bills.

Itโ€™s also about:
โœ… utilization
โœ… payment history
โœ… account age
โœ… inquiries
โœ… credit mix

Credit is strategy, not luck.

Tax Pros Pay Attention

The IRS just expanded the Business Tax Account and this is something you need to know for your clients and your own business.

The platform is now available to:
Partnerships
Tax-exempt organizations
Federal, state, and local governments
Indian tribal governments

Before, it was only for sole proprietors, S corps, and C corps. Now more of your clients can access their tax information online without relying on you for every simple request.

What your clients can now do inside their account
View balances and payment history
Make payments
Download IRS notices
Access transcripts
Request compliance checks
Verify business information on file

Why this matters for you as a tax pro
Your clients have more direct access, so you need to educate them on how to use it properly
This can cut down on unnecessary back and forth for simple requests
You still need to stay in position as the expert and guide them on what they are looking at

The IRS is continuing to move toward digital systems and your clients are going to expect you to know how it works.
Make sure you stay ahead and not behind on these updates.

๐Ÿšจ IRS LETTER 12C EXPLAINED ๐Ÿšจ

If you received a 12C letter from the IRS this means your return is on hold โธ๏ธ until the IRS gets more information from you. This letter is VERY common this tax season and it does NOT mean you are in trouble, but it WILL delay your refund if you donโ€™t respond.

๐Ÿ“ฉ What Letter 12C means
The IRS cannot finish processing your tax return because something is missing or does not match their records.

๐Ÿ“Œ Common reasons you get a 12C letter
๐Ÿ“„ Missing W2 or 1099 income
๐Ÿงพ Missing Form 1095-A for Marketplace insurance
๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Credits claimed that need proof
๐Ÿ’ฐ Income not matching IRS database
๐Ÿชช Identity or verification documents needed
โœ๐Ÿฝ Signature or forms missing

โš ๏ธ What happens if you ignore it
Your refund will NOT be released
Your return will stay on hold
Processing can take weeks or even months
The IRS will not finish your return until you respond

โœ… What you should do
Read the letter carefully
Send exactly what the IRS asked for
Respond as soon as possible
Keep copies of everything you send

๐Ÿ’ก Tax season changes every year and the IRS is reviewing more returns than ever.
If your paperwork is not complete, your refund WILL get delayed.

Stay informed so your money doesnโ€™t get stuck at the IRS ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“š

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ“„ IRS TRANSCRIPT BREAKDOWN ๐Ÿ“„๐Ÿšจ

If you pull a Account Transcript and the bottom shows:

โžก๏ธ โ€œReturn Not Present For This Accountโ€ ๐Ÿšซ
โžก๏ธ โ€œNo tax return filedโ€ โŒ
โžก๏ธ Completely blank Transactions section ๐Ÿ“ญ

Hereโ€™s what that means technically ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

As of the date the transcript was generated ๐Ÿ“…, no return has posted to that tax yearโ€™s account module in the IRS system ๐Ÿ’ป

When the IRS processes and posts a return, it creates:

๐Ÿ“Œ TC 150 Return Filed
๐Ÿ“Œ A Cycle Code
๐Ÿ“Œ A Processing Date

Thatโ€™s the official posting of the return.

If you see:
โŒ No TC 150
โŒ No cycle code
โŒ No processing date
โŒ No transaction codes at all

Then nothing has posted for that tax year. Period. ๐Ÿ“Š

Transcripts are historical records ๐Ÿ“š they only show what has already been recorded in Master File.

If a return had posted, even if later reviewed or adjusted, you would still see TC 150 first.

No TC 150 = no posted return on that module ๐ŸงพโŒ
