Frequently Asked Questions
FOR THE BUSINESS OWNER:

I already own a CPA firm, can I keep my personal accounts or business clients? Yes if you open a Liberty in another territory or grandfather them into the system (see above)

FOR POTENTIAL EMPLOYEES:

I’ve never prepared taxes. Can I still take the class? Yes. No previous tax experience is required. Anyone and everyone can take our classes. The main requirement is the willingness to learn individual tax preparation and apply the tax code to many situations.

What will I learn in Liberty Tax classes?

Instructors cover all schedules, credits and forms associated with individual tax filing. Students apply their tax knowledge to prepare returns on paper and on the computer. Liberty’s basic income tax preparation classes educate consumers about the latest tax changes and more.

How long are the classes?

Class schedules are flexible with day or evening classes available
twice a week for ten weeks. Most classes are 6-9 at night or 9-noon
in the day. Liberty Tax will offer other classes later in the fall.

How much does it cost to take the classes?

There’s a minimal charge for books.

Am I obligated to work for Liberty Tax after taking the class? There is no obligation. While we do hire many students from the class, others take the class to learn more about tax preparation. We don’t promise a job, and you don’t have to sign anything obligating you.

What are the advantages of taking a tax class? The company’s ten-week tax school can help students learn personal tax-savings advantages and strategies as well as a new skill that may lead to certification and employment. Liberty Tax is hiring 40,000 tax preparers and does recruit from the pool of tax school students. Students may uncover mistakes they have made for several years and uncover overlooked deductions and credits. They may then amend their returns up to three years back and claim any refunds due for those years.
