I am thinking of taking the HR block tax preparation course, in order to get a second job for during the tax season. Does anybody know if you are required to work allot of hours there during the tax season

H & R Block is not the only place for classes. Check with local colleges. You can start preparing by obtaining pub. 17 from the IRS and build from there. Don't expect to learn everything in your classes. Tax laws change every day (it seems like) and I have been a tax preparer since 1969 and I'm still learning. Sometimes I would work on a return and think to myself if God, who knows everything, would come out with the same answer. At the beginning of tax season, Money magazine always have a case study and has 50 preparers nationwide prepare a mocked-up return. They end up with 50 different answers. Good luck to you!

What tax place doesn't want you to work a lot of hours during tax season? Especially if you are a quick and good preparer. I have attached a link to H&R Block. Just to let you know, the first CPA firm that I did taxes for, sent me to an H&R Block course.

That's between you and them. If you're offered a position, tell them what hours you can work, and see what happens.
Realize being a new person, they take care of their old timers first, but you usually can work as few hours as you want.However, the more hours that upi work, , the more experience you get.
Incidentally, the HR Block tax course is probably the best out there.
You better think fast,classes start soon.
Good luck.

I checked into H & R Block just to get tax experience. They wanted me to sit somewhere for minimum wages for quite a few nights a week. The experience was not worth the time required plus I had to pay so much for the course. It may be better in other areas because this area is notorious low pay.

I think all districts are different. In the one I work in, they would like you to have a minimum of 12 hours, but they are flexible.
