About Jerry Hatton

Using my experience to improve your experience

Tax Preparation can be an unpleasant annual chore.  However, with the right professional your experience can actually be informative, satisfying, and pleasant. 

I have over 25 years of tax preparation experience.  I love the work.  Turning your problems and questions into focused, understandable answers makes it all worthwhile.  Put my experience to work and make your experience effortless.  

As District Manager for H&R Block in Bloomington, Indiana and then Toledo, Ohio, I was responsible for training supervisors and tax preparers to provide high quality service.  I then took that background to Jackson Michigan and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program.  Here, we provided free tax preparation service for low income, elderly and disabled clients.  As Program Coordinator, I helped build VITA up to serving clients in three counties, operating 10 offices, and engaging over 120 tax volunteers.  My experience is broad and includes many different types of clients in a variety of settings.  

By opening J Hatton Taxes in 2021, I now have the opportunity once again to work one-on-one with clients and tailor my service to meet their specific needs.  And, I can hold to the motto "Lower Prep Fees".   By eliminating office rent, expensive advertising, and a large staff, I'm able to charge fair prices for my service and in turn give every client fair value for their tax preparation.
