Dear All,

I am from India, have cleared all the four parts of Uniform CPA exam. Currently working on my Ethics exam.

I need some guidance on how to earn money by preparing tax returns and filing them from India.

I need this income to support myself as I am currently pregnant.

Kindly help me.

Thank you very much.

Are you wanting to prepare tax returns for U. S. residents from India? Or prepare tax returns for residents of India who file U. S. tax returns?

If you mean preparing for U. S. residents, I would guess that in order to do that, you'd need to be working with a U. S. based company that provides online tax services, like TurboTax, because I think it would be extremely hard if not impossible to create your own remote tax service, since I think people would be hesitant to send their paperwork to someone overseas whom they had never met. However, there are remote opportunities with TurboTax – for example: https://careers.intuit.com/job-category/20/tax-advisor/job/00115370/seasonal-tax-support-specialist-remote I don't know for certain if they accept applicants from other countries, but it doesn't say they don't, so would be worth a try. One possible issue is that my old boss said that tax return documentation was required to be stored on U. S. servers; if he was right, then it could be that you are allowed to prepare them remotely, but would have to save all your files on a U. S. server and not save anything on your computer, so something to look into before you get too in-depth with it. My boss may've been wrong, though – he had some odd ideas at times.

If you mean preparing for residents of India, then I probably can't help you much because starting one's own business seems to be very heavily influenced by the cultures around you, and I'm not very familiar with Indian culture, at least not to the point to understand the environment for small businesses.
