[Nfbc-info] Need Some Recommendations

[Joy Stigile]

Hi Chela,
There is no such title as "tax preparer" to work with blind tax payers".
Next year pick a licensed tax accountant that is close to either where you
work or live.

If you are receiving SSI all tax accountants already know that it is a
"non-taxable" income.  If you are receiving SSDI a small portion is taxable
after you have earned a certain dollar amount in one year.  It goes up each
year.  All accountants take continuing education classes each year that the
IRS mandates for them to be licensed. 

Since you will be working less than 8 weeks in 2017, I am sure you will not
be paying any taxes next April.  I would suggest calling your local H and R
Block office or University because they may be able to help you out this
first year for a very reduced rate.

Best regards, Joy

Hello all it is Chela once again. I will be starting my job I previously
mentioned while back when Brought up the Social Security thread to which I
had great responses from several of you and I hope to get another great
batch of responses again from several of you again.
I will be starting work on November 3rd.
I tried to reach out recently to the Lighthouse for the Blind and have not
received a response yet probably because no one knows the answer to my
inquiry or perhaps they are dealing with the wildfires and such.
Anyway here is hoping I will get an answer.
Can anyone recommend a tax accountant that works specifically with blind tax
filers? Since this will be my first job working for a school district
through an independent privately owned company that doesn't provide benefits
and such, I will have to find a reputable tax accountant that works with
blind people to help file yearly taxes. I know that on the TurboTax site it
states thatthere are certain rules blind people must follow and reading all
of it overwhelms me because I don't quite understand and would rather talk
to a tax accountant that specializes in helping file taxes working with
blind people. Seeing as is my new job will be starting November 3rd and it
will be my first job, I want to do the taxes and such, right. If anyone has
any recommendations for tax accountants in the bay area, that would be nice.
Specifically one who works with blind tax filers.
Thank you,
Chela Robles
PS.
If this needs to be discussed off the list, you can write to me at
cdrobles693 at gmail.com and if you can, please when you recommend tax
accountants provide their names and contact information including company
they work for so I can further research them.
