Interested in getting help filing your taxes at no cost to you? I (Joann Peck) am a tax professional (Enrolled Agent), and I am interested in helping you. Nothing definite yet, but I want to see how many would be interested. Send a private message if you are, and I will put you on a list as tentative. Note: speak only English, so if you don't speak English, you would need to provide an interpreter.

If you're coming for diapers this Saturday, you might also want to go to the Clothes Closet at First Baptist Church - Buckner next door. Heck, even if you aren't coming for diapers, you might consider going! They have clothing/shoes for adults and children of all ages, and no appointment is needed. They can only take a few people at a time, so you might want to come early for that.

Note: They are usually open by appointment only Monday - Thursday from 8:30 am - 3:00 pm. They are located in the educational building (9 East Jefferson) behind the church, which is located at 131 S Hudson St in Buckner. Call for an appointment: 816-650-5632 ext #1.

This Saturday at First Baptist Church - Buckner

Free education opportunity and possible employment.

Intuit Academy provides free education in tax preparation and bookkeeping, with the possibility of employment upon completion. If you're looking for a new career or want to improve your current skills, you might want to sign up.

I started my 5th year with Intuit on Friday, December 12, working from home. I enjoy the work, and the benefits are amazing--even for seasonal employees. I highly recommend.

Free training in tax preparation and bookkeeping. Make your job application with Intuit stand out from the crowd by taking a course and passing the exam.
