In the fall of 2015, I found myself in a situation where I was pretty much limited due to a fall that created mobility issues. To the knee injury that imposed restrictions that I referred to as “stair incarceration” add blustery wind and a flurry of snow accumulation, home became my husband’s and my sanctuary.
During this time, there were a lot of people sharing stories about how it was hard to get out of their home to get things done. The information shared took me on an explorative journey to seek out services that are available to you when you are homebound.
Two services that I felt were vital included getting your taxes completed and food for the pantry.
Taxes on the Go Offers Hope for the Homebound
It is inevitable, that January brings with it that time of the year. TAX time! It can be one of the most grueling tasks that you procrastinate about for multiple reasons.
One young man’s story was fascinating.
Michael Fitzmayer has done tax preparation for more than 35 years. He will tell you that he has seen just about every type of tax situation in that time.
Mike started Taxes on the Go. He will come to your home with his laptop in hand and prepare your taxes. He has the capability to e-file, but needs to file from his office to ensure that it is sent from a secure network.
In order to help people that were less fortunate than he is, Mike started doing Taxes on the Go. Mike wanted to be there for people who were in recovery situations and be able to reduce the cost for those with lower incomes or stressed financial concerns.
Mike talked with me regarding, “People with low incomes are going into tax preparation offices and being taken advantage of by paying very high preparation fees.”
When you can’t leave home, there is always the option to do your taxes yourself when you have access to the internet. For many people, they don’t have the luxury of owning a computer and internet access due to their financial limitations. Or health issues such as sight might make that option prohibitive.
Thank goodness that there are people like Mike who have put a personal touch to taxes.
Taxes on the Go takes the worry out of getting your taxes done if you can’t leave home.
Contact Mike at Taxes on the Go 502-640-8782. He will also prepare taxes at his office.
