Answer: ma’am, i think you misunderstood the purpose of this section. this is not the place where employers look for potential employees nor is this the place for job hunters. we can offer you advice, suggestions and our 10cents worth of experience on how to land a job but beyond that is not within our purview. we cannot give you a job inspite your stellar credentials.

i suggest you search the Net for possible employers and apply directly at their websites. aloha and good luck.

Question: Can I get a job doing tax preparation working only on the weekends?

I live in California and am taking the CTEC course getting ready for next year. I work full time nights and might be available only on the weekends. I am wondering if tax employers hire people just for the weekends.

Answer: Maybe – you might try looking for a smaller accounting firm that needs some extra help during crunch time… My boss usually hires a newbie to work one or two days a week…

Question: What is an inexpensive online tutorial tax preparation class website?

I just started working for a CPA and would like to know how to do tax and know the termonology better!

Answer: First of all, your employer MUST have tons of reading material for you to examine… Secondly, the IRS website (www.irs.gov) has literally hundreds of pages of tutorials for all types of tax filings. Lastly, look in your favorite book store for the “For Dummies” publications. There are several that deal with tax preparation.

Good Luck!

Online Income Tax Preparation – Tax Tip #7 from RapidTax.com

Question: Do college students with kids and no job need to fill out income tax returns?

I am a returning college student. I am married and I have 2 children. In 2005 I decided to return to school after a life altering car accident. In 2006 I was a full time student and had no job. My wife did not have a job either. My question is: Did we have to fill out out an income tax form?

As you can probably tell I did not fill one out for 2006, but I was advised by a tax preparer that it was not necessary. I am here asking now, because I am not sure she was entirely correct.

Answer: If you had no “taxable income” in a given year it is not necessary to file a tax return. Sometimes it is difficult to determine what might be taxable income. If you had a large settlement for the accident that may not be taxable but the interest you have made on that settlement would be. I could list dozens of situations like this one. You really should see a tax professional and explain your circumstances. My office would not charge for such a service and I am sure you can find someone in your area that also will advise you without charge
