Date: January 14th, 2020 1:14 PM Author: Charcoal pervert These places grind out a couple thousand returns, many or most of which contain fabricated schedule c "self-employment" income in cash heavy businesses. Amazingly, every hair dresser and day laborer who comes in makes exactly as much gross income as whatever the max for the earned income tax Credit is. They then add every possible Dependent and generate refunds in the many thousands of dollars for the "taxpayer." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4421706&forum_id=2#39429582) |

Date: January 14th, 2020 1:30 PM Author: contagious stage affirmative action It's because their business model is not based on filing your taxes. Sure, they do that. Some will even do it for free as an incentive.
It's all low income people with very simple 1040EZ returns. Probably takes 30 minutes on average to complete each one.
The catch is that most low income people get a refund and the tax filing place issues it to them ON THE SPOT as essentially a high interest payday loan.
These people absolutely CANNOT resist taking a $1,000 check today in exchange for signing over their $1,400 return to the preparer. |

Date: January 14th, 2020 1:42 PM Author: contagious stage affirmative action Let's do the math, brother.
Month-to-month rent for four months (Jan-April) in a strip mall in a ghetto shopping center (the more ghetto, the better for this type of business): $4,000.
Two tax prep filers @ $15/hr full-time for 14 weeks: $20,000 after payroll taxes.
Salvation Army furniture and some shitty computers: $1,500
Marketing: $5,000
Total costs: $31,000 (rounded up for misc costs).
Now let's say you average $300 on each return and process on average six per day, six days per week, for 14 weeks: $151,200
$151,200 - $31,000 = $120,200 in profit for 14 weeks of work. Six per day seems low, too. I bet you could do more.
