Back in 2002, while at my local grocery store, I saw, posted on the community bulletin board*, a business card for a local woman who offers Income Tax Service. For the next 15 years she would do my yearly tax returns, federal, state & local (I hired her because there were many years where I had extra freelance work that made my returns more complicated than normal). I even included her in a comic, this one from February 11, 2014. Of course, now that I’ve move 300 miles away, obviously she won’t be able to continue doing so. Maybe stumbling into this yard sign will connect me with someone who’ll also be able to complete my returns for the next 15 years.

 

  • – Yes, remember when grocery stores used to have those? In fact, remember when many places used to have public bulletin boards that held lots of information for jobs and services available in the local community? I guess the internet and electronic devices killed them.
