Jackson Hewitt Tax Preparation

211 E Washington St, Mountain View, AR 72560 (870) 269-7676

Speaking of taxes and we were, weren't we? There's another tax preparation service in town. I don't use it because I get mine done for free at the Senior Center in Fairfield Bay AR. That's one unpleasant task that doesn't cost money to get done anymore. See, there are some advantages to getting old.

At least they make it easy for you to get inside. A little ramp to get over the threshold easily is in place. I don't know why the other stores don't do this. Easy and it works. One ramp and voila, they are in compliance.

So Jackson Hewitt makes it easy for you to give them money and in return, you have satisfied your obligations to Uncle Same.

These are the tax people, ya know. They take care of filing your income taxes every year if you don't want to do it yourself.

This is the only business in Mountain View that has put that little ramp up to the threshold so wheelchair users can sail right in. There is that door to contend with but it sure is easier to get over the threshold with that ramp. There's a curb cut at the end of the little strip mall HR Block is in. A  ways from the car, but there just the same.

I suppose doors have to open out instead of in, so in case of fire or other need for evacuation can be easier for the customers inside, but geez, it would be easier for the folks going in if the doors opened inward.

Ya know I have seen some business that keep their doors locked and you have to be buzzed in. Wonder if you need to say a secret word or need a password or something. That just seems strange. I don't know if this business is like that. I kinda doubt it in this town where everybody knows everybody, what they are doing and who they are doing it with every minute of every day.
