"Getting approved to participate in IRS e-file doesn't automatically teach you how to build procedures, manage preparers, monitor your operation, protect taxpayer information, or lead a profitable tax office."
— Aundrea Wilson, Founder, Tax Lab AcademyNo documented process for a single return — let alone the twenty preparers you're about to recruit.
No system for catching a due-diligence problem before it becomes an IRS problem.
No real idea what the business is keeping after preparer pay, software, and overhead.
This program is built on three layers. Knowing information isn't enough — you need to know how to use it.
Understand the IRS requirements and authoritative guidance connected to your role.
Turn that knowledge into written procedures, workflows, and controls.
Learn to manage people, money, risk, and profitability.
The Tax Lab Academy Operating System™ — the framework you'll come back to in every module.
Who can prepare, review, and transmit — and who decided that?
Are IRS rules, due diligence, and recordkeeping actually being followed?
What does each return generate, and what does each preparer cost?
How does a taxpayer move through your business, start to finish?
How much can your operation handle before quality or security breaks?
Every module ends with something you build — not just something you watch. Tap a module to see what you'll walk away with.

You won't just learn the rule — you'll practice the decision.
"Just put it through. Everybody else does it."
What does the preparer say next — and what does your office's due-diligence procedure require?
"Can I just use your login? Mine's acting up."
What's your answer, and what does it say about your Access Control Map?
A preparer keeps submitting returns that need correcting.
Where does this go on the Traffic Light Review — and what happens next?
