Ten Questions Every Tax Pro Should Ask
Even if you're not ready to join, come back and revisit these questions if/when the subject of online filing comes up during or after tax season:
1. Would I like to have a website that I can use to promote my company, attract new clients, and offer online tax filing and tax-related content?
2. (if yes) Should I spend my own time and money designing/paying/hosting my website, or should I let ProTaxNet do it all instantly for little or no cost?
3. Has my tax practice been attracting fewer new and younger clients in recent years?
4. Have any of my clients chosen to abandon my professional services to file their taxes online?
5. (if yes) Will those former clients contact me if and when they are in need of professional tax assistance?
6. Other than former clients, do I personally know anyone who currently files his or her taxes online?
7. (if yes) Will those individuals contact me if and when they are ever in need of professional tax assistance?
8. Wouldn't it be nice to have a free 1040EZ online option for the children of my clients, instead of forcing them to find an alternative on their own?
9. Are there any online tax filing sites other than ProTaxNet that offer to prepare, print, and efile a Basic Federal & State return for $14.95?
10. Other than the ProTaxNet Online Filing Cooperative, is there any better way for tax practitioners, as a group, to encourage taxpayers to be more vigilant about filing their taxes online?
Bonus: What's it going to cost me to join the ProTaxNet OLFC?
