What Is Revenue Sharing with Tax Return Software Companies?

Ready for the career & lifestyle you deserve?

Starting your tax prep business is easier and more affordable than you think, especially when you're a member of The Pride.

In the world of tax preparation, one term that often surfaces is revenue sharing. It’s like a group effort where the spoils are divided up among contributors. While this practice may sound fair, it introduces complexities, particularly when seeking the best professional tax preparer software. Often the one putting in most of the effort gets the least reward. 

Frequently you’ll see terms like 50/50, 40/60, or even 70/30 and 90/10. The first number is the amount of the prep fees the software company plans to keep and the second number is what the tax preparer actually gets. How is any of that fair? Sure, the software company has to get paid too, but the preparer did most of the work for that return! 

The Quest for the Most Fair and Best Professional Tax Preparer Software

Starting a tax preparation business from home has never been easier, thanks to the rise of virtual services and the support Taxx Savage offers. Whether you’re looking for a side hustle or a full-time gig, this is an opportunity to be your own boss and shape your future more directly.

Decoding Revenue Sharing: The Financial Jargon

What the heck even is revenue sharing? Like we talked about above, it means splitting the profits of your hard work with someone else. It has the potential to disrupt how tax professionals charge for their services and impact what taxpayers end up paying. Think about the first time you had to have your taxes done. It felt really unfair to find out you got a $900 refund only for the tax preparer to take $300 of that in fees. Even worse to be the tax preparer and find out that your software company expects you to give them half of that, or more!

The Pros and Cons of Sharing the Wealth

Let’s dissect the pros and cons of sharing the wealth through revenue sharing. On the positive side, it can foster improvements in tax software, like a collaborative team effort working towards a common goal. Software engineers have to be paid and backend updates to get new tax code documents into your software is super important. Plus maybe you don’t have $400-$1000 for new tax software and they’ll give you a discount because you share your revenue with them. This can be particularly advantageous if you’re considering the best tax service bureau software options that offer flexible payment structures.

However, on the flip side, it introduces confusion and decisions that may not always align with the best interests of the taxpayer or tax preparer. Plus it’s not fair in the end. The tax preparer has to charge more to pay for their costs and could lose out on business that way, too.

" This company is amazing to work with during the tax season. They were always available and prompt when responding to questions or issues that needed further assistance. Also, I was always paid within 2-3 days after the client's taxes deposited into their bank account. The pricing for services to use bank products are reasonably priced and allowed me to get my preparer fee taken directly out of the clients refund. I would definitely recommend Tax Savage to any preparer that wants to succeed in the tax business and needs access software via a reliable company!! "

” Amazing company to do business with. Their support team is excellent and is there for you always. We had a small hiccup with a payment that never made it to me from the return I did and they resolved it very quickly and effortlessly and didn’t make me wait longer than it’s already been. I will forever recommend this company. Amazing staff. “

Sondra Baylor – 02/20/2024

I don’t even know where to start! It didn’t take me long to figure out that this is the business that I wanted to business with. Working for other people filing taxes and getting clients, but not seeing any revenue from it was getting old. The fact that I get to SEE ALL THE REVENUE from filing taxes was all I needed to hear. They even sent me a demo to see how the software worked! FOR FREE!!! I worked with Beverly and she was absolutely AMAZING! Taxx Savage wants you to succeed. I absolutely love it. I do recommend this software and working with them to build your own business!
