Should I start a simple tax preparation business?

[lily]

A few years ago I worked at a tax center and I LOVED it. I was forced to do it by my unit while I was in the Army and absolutely hated it at first. I was clueless, scared, and worried I'd make too many mistakes and even my supervisor had not faith in me at first. But by the end of the tax season I had completely proven him and myself wrong and discovered that I wouldn't mind being a tax preparer someday. Although I prepared taxes for a season I was no expert, especially with the more difficult ones such as owning a business, stocks, etc. But I was an expert at preparing simple tax returns and pretty good at itemizing. So I was wondering if I could start a business preparing simple tax returns for those who only have a couple W-2's, 1099's, child care expenses, and maybe a house. Aside from having experience for only that one tax season, I have been preparing my own taxes since then and have never made a mistake, I also plan on pursuing a degree in Accounting and perhaps volunteering somewhere to learn all I can about taxes. Basically I plan on starting out small doing preparing simple tax returns at a low cost and hopefully turning it into something bigger after I become more skillful. Is this a good idea and how would I go about attracting customers? Do you think I could make a profit by preparing simple tax returns?
