Highlights:While working at H&R Block, I had the opportunity to assist a wide range of clients in preparing and filing their tax returns. One standout moment was helping a first-time filer navigate both federal and state returns, ensuring they claimed all eligible credits and deductions. The client left feeling relieved and more financially informed, which reminded me how impactful accurate, empathetic tax assistance can be. This experience not only deepened my understanding of tax laws and preparation techniques but also strengthened my communication skills and confidence in handling sensitive financial information.
