Taxpayer CARE Center (Community Access to Resources & Education) is a program of Lily Tran Tax, LLC. It was founded to close a gap to serve individuals, families, and small business owners.
Many of the most important financial decisions happen long before a tax return, or entirely apart from one. Too often, people handle that work alone, in a spreadsheet or a drawer full of unopened paperwork. The CARE Center was built so no one has to.

Questions we hear early on
Are you an attorney?
Are you an attorney?
No. We don't draft wills, trusts, or legal agreements, and we don't provide legal advice. We help you organize your decisions and prepare for those conversations, then coordinate with a licensed attorney for the documents themselves.
Will you prepare my tax return?
Will you prepare my tax return?
No. This practice is focused on planning and consulting, not tax return preparation, even though our founder holds an Enrolled Agent license. For tax return preparation, we partner with TaxUSign and can connect you directly.
What can you notarize?
What can you notarize?
Any document that requires notarization within Washington State's notary laws, including estate planning documents, powers of attorney, and business transfer paperwork.
Can you notarize a document I didn't prepare with you?
Can you notarize a document I didn't prepare with you?
If you're a current Taxpayer CARE Center client, yes, we can notarize documents from your attorney or elsewhere as part of that engagement. We're not currently offering notarization as a standalone, walk-in service outside those engagements.
Do you travel to sign documents?
Do you travel to sign documents?
No, all signings happen in our office. We don't currently offer mobile or travel notary services.
Can you tell me what the document should say?
Can you tell me what the document should say?
No, that crosses into legal advice, which we're not licensed to give. Our role is to verify your identity and witness the signing, not to advise on the document's content. For that, we can point you toward a licensed attorney.
