How much revenue can I expect to earn?
The amount of revenue you earn will be based on several factors:
- The amount of time and effort your employees market the tax business.
- Your employee's initiative and motivation.
- Ensuring that customers recognize that you are a "Tax Office" in addition to your core business.
- Retention of tax customers from year to year.
Income Expectations:
Your location should generate the following income based on completing the number of returns outlined below. (Figures are approximate and are based on average prep fees with a $50 add-on fee):
- 25 to 50 returns = $3,400 to $9,000
- 50 to 100 returns = $6,800 to $18,100
- 100 to 200 returns = $13,700 to $36,200
- 200 to 300 returns = $27,500 to $54,300
- 300 to 500 returns = $41,200 to $90,600
Expected Production:
Listed below is the number of tax returns we feel a store location should complete each tax season. These numbers are based on the number of years tax service has been offered and from actual store locations we have managed, supervised, or owned.
- 1st year - 50 to 100 tax returns
- 2nd year - 100 to 200 tax returns
- 3rd year - 200 to 300+ tax returns
It has been our experience that offices that have been preparing tax returns for four or more years will complete 300 to 500 tax returns. It's not uncommon for locations in our smallest markets to meet and even exceed these expectations.

How is Revenue Generated and Shared?
Revenue is generated from the preparation and electronic filing of tax returns. A preparation fee will be charged for each completed tax return and each fee will be split between your location and Noble Tax Service. Tax customers are not required to pay anything up front. In most all cases, the tax fee is withheld from the refund and not deducted until the check prints. The only exception is for those customers who do not meet the qualifications to have their check printed in your office. In these rare instances, you would prepare a paper return and collect the fee upfront.
Revenue is shared by splitting (based on contract) the tax preparation fee between your location and Noble Tax Service. The tax preparation fee is set by Noble Tax Service and will be competitive with other tax preparers in your market.
Additional revenue can be generated by charging Add-on Fees. Add-on fees are in addition to the preset preparation fee. In order to keep fees competitive we recommend that you keep your Add-on Fees under $100.
Revenue reports will be made available to your location and Noble Tax Service. These reports will detail your stores production and will be used to calculate your commission. Noble Tax Service will pay commissions to your location either by check or by bank wire. These commissions will be paid at least twice monthly.

What are the benefits of offering Tax Preparation?
Increases Revenue
Historically the 1st quarter of each year is the slowest period of the year for finance companies and many other small businesses. Tax preparation provides you the ability to increase revenue during the 1st quarter by as much as $50,000 or more per store location.
Increases Employee Loyalty
By offering a bonus program based on tax preparation production, employees will earn more during the off-peak season. Overall production increases as their personal ability to earn increases. Obviously, the more employees earn the more loyal they become to the company.
Increases Ability To Collect
You will print each tax customer's check in your office. Arrangements can be made to collect past due accounts or even recover charged-off accounts.
Increases Core Business
You will create new customer office traffic providing you the opportunity to gain accounts in your core business.
Increases Customer Loyalty
Customers appreciate the ability to “one stop shop". The more quality services you offer the more loyal your customers will become.
