Is there a good tax person here who can help me out? Or, can anyone refer me to a good tax person? I also just started my career as an MT this year. I have retired to Mexico and need a tax person to help me with all the ins and outs of being an IC, living out of the country, tax deductions etc. Any help would sure be appreciated! Thanks!

very few persons
are actual MT's and have not a clue. Probably even make less money,and they are your bosses.That alone is a joke. The next time you get yelled at by your "boss" tell her to take the online test. Better yet start going to her with medical words, email and ask what certain difficult terms mean,that would be so great. That is why I left, it was extremely frustrating to be told what to do by someone who knows so much less than me and could not even really help me with anything except how many lines I typed. LOL

QA persons edit. If it is 100% listen, that
depends on the MT and on the account. Usually phys ther reports are lengthy (and boring), but not hard, but you do have to know the terms. I do not do editing by the line. I would say 500 lph is upward thinking. I know years ago when I edited by the line (then being paid 6 cpl), I can say absolutely that I never earned more than $12 an hour (that was years and years ago). I had Indian MTs though and the worst of the worst ESL dictators but I swore then, never again.

Line pay is unfair to QA/editors but many companies try to squeeze the blood from a turnip. There is much to do in QA.

BTW, you put NM on your post making me think there was nothing in it
