Who: For my summer internship I interned with my grandma’s tax preparing business, Faye A. Melcher and associations inc. What: I learned about tax preparing and helped with the many tasks that go into it. Some tasks included, filing paperwork, organizing files multiple times, copying returns, shredding old documents that needed to be disposed of, learning about assembling returns, driving to the post office to mail returns, learning the tax program, and printing and stapling notices.
When: I did my internship almost everyday for 5 hours to ensure I would have my total of 60 hours. The days I interned depended on my paddling and work schedule. Where: My mentor/grandma Faye Melcher’s tax business is ran out of her home which is very close to mine so it was nice to be able to walk to her home and intern with her.
Why: I decided to do my internship with her as I had an interest in learning about taxes and the preparation because one day I will need to file taxes every year.
