Taxes are inevitable for most customers. Turning them into an income stream for a rent-to-own dealer takes planning.
Steve Minish, head of business development for eTax Partners

Just a few weeks remain to meet the December 1 deadline for launching an in-store tax preparation program. "Time is running out," said Steve Minish, head of business development for eTax Partners. "But the process of getting everything set up is straightforward and easy, so RTO dealers who act soon can maximize their return on this service and generate huge profits during the coming tax season. Taxes are inevitable for most customers - turning taxes into an income stream for a rent-to-own dealer takes planning."

According to Minish, it takes four to six weeks to get a free Electronic Financial Identification Number (EFIN) issued by the IRS. The next step is a 30 minute employee training session with e-Tax. The final link in the chain is getting the word out to potential customers.

"Dealers will want time to market their tax service to make the most out of their efforts. One popular promotion centers on an 'IRS Inventory Reduction Sale' concept that encourages customers to get their refund in time to purchase that large screen TV for Super Bowl. And there are many others."

Minish directs interested dealers to the eTax demo to see how easy it is to use the program. "The goal is to make tax preparation profitable without the headaches associated with other revenue generators. It practically works on its own."

"My hope is that dealers who are interested in signing up to offer tax prep services do so soon. This will enable them to fully utilize a great opportunity to make upwards of $10,000 or more in extra profit in just a few weeks this tax season. At e-Tax, we make it easy to get a tax prep service started in any RTO store with zero financial investment and no liability."
