I own a small bookkeeping business and many of my clients have asked me to do their federal tax returns.  I use Quickbooks Online Accountant  so I’ve been looking into ProConnect as my next logical step.  

I’d like to know what the  1) minimum qualifications or certification are to become a tax preparer and 2) recommendations on online courses to get the certification, and 3) any other input or advice on getting started on tax prep from scratch.

Thanks
