Tax Preparation Services in the US

Tax preparation service providers assist individuals and businesses with filing their tax returns, but don't provide accounting, bookkeeping, billing or payroll process services. During the beginning of the current period, per capita disposable income grew and more consumers had the resources to afford bringing their taxes to professionals. When individuals earn more income, they have greater buying power and are more willing to find tax preparers that will maximize their refunds.

Operators in this industry provide tax return preparation services to individuals but do not offer accounting, bookkeeping, billing or payroll process services. Although the offices of certified public accountants (CPAs) are excluded from this industry, basic knowledge of tax law and filing requirements is required. Online tax return providers (IBISWorld report OD4549) do not fit within the scope of this industry.
