Most people that do taxes are tax accountants - or CPAs. That requires a minimum of 2 year associates degree in accounting -- but most people want a degreed Tax Accountant who is also a Certified Public Accountant - because failure to properly file and pay taxes carries such huge disaster potential - so a minimum 4 years college plus passing your state's CPA test and getting licensed. You can go to work for H&R Block, who does advertise and offer to train you ....but i think that's kind of iffy....If you want a real, long term career, you really have to go to an accredited college of some kind. Good luck !!
