Taxes are my side hustle!! Seriously. Its a part time gig, low overhead, and I earn $75 an hour. There are some costs associated with the gig. I have to pay the IRS and CTEC (California Tax Education Council) annually. There is errors and omissions insurance, paper and ink and a tax software program. There is an annual 20 hour continuing education requirement. All told I clear $50 an hour, and I could charge more. I charge an initial $75, which covers the majority of my returns. Businesses, estates, and people who drop off a box of receipts that takes me 3 hours to organize pay more. It always feels good to help people get more back. And for those that owe, I try to identify the specific reasons so they can plan for future years.

Haha, I like it! I’m going through memory lane checking out all these comments you’re leaving ;) Maybe you’ll strike up some more discussion on these oldies since the others was wiped away during our WordPress conversion… so thanks! (and good luck!)

You’re probably like “Why is she answering old -@$$ posts?”

Well, the answer, is because I need something to look at besides all the receipts as I prepare MY financial statements for taxes – choke.
