Amendments Done Right- The Complete Tax Professional's Guide to Correcting Returns, Reading IRS Transcripts & Building a Year-Round Amendment Business

The IRS receives between 3.7 and 5 million amended returns every year against over 165 million total filings. That's a massive, barely touched market — and most tax pros are leaving every dollar of it on the table.

They either avoid amendments completely, file them wrong, or charge $200 for work worth three times that. Amendments have a reputation for being messy and risky, and that reputation exists because most preparers were never taught how to do them right.

I'm not one of those preparers. I run toward amendments. I understand the process and I know amendments are upfront money. No waiting on bank products.

That's why I built this guide, because this market is wide open and the preparers who know what they're doing are getting paid- upfront. This comprehensive eBook is the only guide tax professionals need to master the technical side of amended returns AND build a profitable post tax season service that generates income for the rest of the year.

Tax season ends. Amendment season begins.
