6) Universities and other schools near me offer tax courses. How do they compare with yours?
Mostly, college and university courses emphasize on theoretical aspects of taxation, resulting in many practical questions unanswered in students' minds.. Since our objective is to make students professional tax consultant, we discuss more of application of tax laws then theory. We teach you how to prepare tax returns completely and accurately, and with tax planning and other needed tax services.

7) Is the tax field suitable for an older or physically handicapped person?
Absolutely. Tax practice is particularly well suited for older persons, not only because the work involves little physical exertion, but even more so because clients instinctively feel confident in the competence and judgment of a mature individual. Then too, tax preparation is light, enjoyable work performed in delightful working conditions at your own working pace. For the same reason, tax work constitutes an excellent part- or full-time source of income for those with physical disabilities.

8) Does your course cover tax return preparation only?
No. Mere mechanical knowledge of how to fill in a tax form… what figure to put on which line, will not make you a true Tax Professional. To earn the rewards and prestige tax work offers, you must know how to search for tax savings possibilities, how to make effective use of advance tax planning…how to find tax saving elections and alternatives. You will see that the SOFTRON training program superbly achieves these results.

9) I have a rotating shift job. I can’t commit for more than 2 weeks at same time
No Problem. Classes are held days, evenings, and week-ends. You can change your class schedule according to your job schedule.

10) Will we be using computers?
The course is designed to give you basic training in income tax preparation where you will work directly with the text book, instructor, and manual forms. You will be given TaxTron software. You can install it at home and do exercises on your own computer. There will be class discussion and demostration of the TaxTron software.
