Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Chattanooga
Chattanooga tax preparation is a crowded field. National chains run storefronts along the corridors, and a long list of independent preparers and enrolled agents work out of small offices and home practices across the county. Demand peaks hard in the weeks before the April filing deadline, when people search for a preparer near them, for help with a return they started themselves, and for someone who can handle a back year. Paid search in this trade is expensive in season because the chains bid on the same local terms. The searches that matter most are local and specific: a neighbourhood, a filing situation, a document people are holding. That is the demand available, and it is steady enough to support pages written for it.
