Starting a Tax Preparation Career in Texas
If you plan to prepare federal tax returns for compensation in Texas, federal paid-preparer requirements still apply.

- Confirm whether you need your own PTIN for the work you plan to do
- Understand whether electronic filing will be handled through an existing provider or your own EFIN
- Review any business registration requirements that apply to how you plan to operate
- Understand what your written agreement covers before you begin preparing returns
