Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Round Rock
Round Rock sits in Williamson County, north of Austin, and the tax preparation demand here follows the same calendar as the rest of the country: a heavy run from late January through the April filing deadline, then a second wave in October for anyone on extension. The local market mixes national chains with storefront offices, franchise branches and a large number of independent preparers and enrolled agents working out of small offices or from home. Round Rock's growth along the I 35 corridor and the newer subdivisions west of the interstate keeps adding households that need a preparer, and many of them search by city name plus the service they want. That is the demand available: people typing searches like tax preparer Round Rock or where to file taxes near me, month after month, in a city that keeps getting bigger.
