Sat Oct 14 22:57:36 UTC 2017

Mom doesn't think it's a good idea for me to go through HNR block so that's going to be rolled out right away. I would have to agree with Michael on this one.

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.
