When the first volunteer did not work the second time I came back with the last document I needed, the older man who worked with me, went above and beyond the service. I asked him a few questions about my research on taxes and what was suggested by city's small business classes I attended and learned that the info conflicted with what he knew. I would have had to pay hundreds of worth less than 1ยข USA dollars for the service I received. Thanks Ladder Up for the service.
