There was news article I read somewhere that college students do not want to go into accounting anymore. I wonder why? Since many of us come from an accounting background, then there will obviously be even more of a shortage of tax preparers. I was talking with EA in the eastern part of the state, and she said there aren't as many tax preparers as there used to be, same here. The only good thing about that, is the law of supply and demand, and it's effect on our fees.
