Shirley Hays Alpine Tax Preparer & Notary operates from Suite 3 at 2605 Alpine Blvd in Alpine, combining IRS-registered tax preparation with California notary public and LiveScan fingerprinting services under one roof. Hays holds an IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) Record of Completion and prepares current-year and prior-year federal and California state returns for individual filers, sole proprietors, and small-business owners along the Alpine Blvd corridor, including restaurants and hospitality venues represented by Alpine Tavern and Grill two blocks east. Deduction optimization is the practice's stated specialty, with particular focus on self-employment expenses, home-office deductions, and vehicle-use substantiation for East County San Diego independent contractors. Notarization services cover jurats, acknowledgments, apostille preparation, and power-of-attorney execution, while the LiveScan station processes DOJ and FBI electronic fingerprint submissions — a compliance combination that supports volunteer-screening requirements at Bethel Christian Assembly on Arnold Way. The Alpine Blvd suite sits within two miles of Viejas Casino & Resort, drawing seasonal and year-round clients from the Willows Road corridor.
