I work for Intuit as a Tax Expert preparing returns for self-employed clients. They need to know about the fees that are added on in addition to the 3% fee for offering the VISA or MC to their clients. Someone who paints my house will allow me to charge the amount by tacking on an additional 3% to pay for their fee. They don't know about the processors fees.

I am an Enrolled Agent and was curious about this class. The information was easy to understand and if I was an accountant, I'd request that all my customers at some point consider having an Audit firm review their accounts if they accept credit cards.
