Death & Taxes…Minus the Death

Jump to Comments

I’m heading to my tax appointment today with the Tax Ninja, a tax preparer I found on Yelp. Not sure if I should trust my taxes to the opinions of a bunch of millennials. This could come back to bite me, indeed, but I absolutely need help with filing so I had to take a shot. I don’t believe in doing your own taxes unless you’re a CPA or really good at math and/or really patient. I am none of these things. I used to use a tax preparer in Bend, Oregon, where I lived for a year, called Margaret A. Atchison. For two years after my move back to the Bay Area, I continued to package up my documents, fill out my questionnaire and send it via FedEx back to them each spring. Sometimes it’s just easier to stick with what you know, you know? They also sent me birthday and holiday cards. (Hey, I’m easy.) This year, however, I waited too long. Deep down, I think knew it was time to part ways and find someone local. Long distance relationships are hard.I’ll be back to let you know how my meeting with the Ninja goes. Wish me luck.
