“I am so very thankful for all that you do. You have been doing my taxes for so many years. I live alone here. I do not have a computer. My phone is only for calling and texting. No data. I am so grateful; I can do my tax filing over the phone. You have lovely tax preparers who call me every year and do it for me. I have asthma and had only one vaccine. I am scared to go out and get sick.”  - Janice
