The vehicle attachment system 2 further comprises a trailer hitch 21 and a generator stand 22. The trailer hitch 21 is capable of mechanically coupling the housing 8 to a vehicle hitch. So, the trailer hitch 21 secures the housing 8 to a vehicle. This design allows for the housing 8 to be pulled by a vehicle of varying shapes and sizes. The generator stand 22 secures along the top side of the trailer hitch 21. As a result, the generator stand 22 is a rectangular platform that is designed to hold a generator 41. The generator stand 22 receives and secures a generator 41. This design ensures that the generator 41 stays in place on the generator stand 22 while the housing 8 is parked.

In reference to FIG. 3, the plurality of entries 3 further comprises a side door 31, a plurality of rear doors 32, and a window. The side door 31 is positioned along the right side of the housing 8. Consequently, the side door 31 forms an opening into the housing 8. The plurality of rear doors 32 is positioned along the rear side of the housing 8. Accordingly, the plurality of rear doors 32 forms an opening along the rear side of the housing 8. The plurality of rear doors 32 is secured to the housing 8 via a hinge and allows the plurality of rear doors 32 to swing open, forming the opening. The side door 31 and plurality of rear doors 32 opens to enable clients and workers to enter the housing 8. Thus, the clients and workers can enter and exit the housing 8 as needed throughout the preparation of taxes. The window integrates along the side of the housing 8 offset the side door 31. The window slides open to receive natural light and air within the housing 8. So, the window forms another opening along the housing 8 that provides workers and clients with access to the outside environment. In an alternative embodiment the window is a plurality of windows 33 and designed with an identical window on the opposite side of the present invention which slides open and functions the same way.

In reference to FIG. 11, the generator 41 is electrically coupled to the internal power panel 43. The generator 41 provides electricity. As a result, the generator 41 provides electricity to the internal power panel 43 and the connected components. The internal power panel 43 electrically couples to the HVAC system 42, the plurality of lights 44, the plurality of outlets 45, and the entry kiosk 5. Consequently, the internal power panel 43 powers the connected components. The internal power panel 43 is designed with a plurality of switches and controls to allow an individual to control the flow of electricity leaving the internal power panel 43.

Further, the HVAC system 42 integrates along the top side of the housing 8 as seen in FIG. 2. Accordingly, the HVAC system 42 is positioned out of the way of other electrical components. The HVAC system 42 provides heating, cooling and ventilation to the inside of the housing 8. Thus, the HVAC system 42 connects the outdoor environment to the environment within the housing 8, pulling hot, cold, and stale air out of the environment within the housing 8.

Further, the plurality of outlets 45 integrates along the inside surface of the housing 8. So, the plurality of outlets 45 are easily accessible by the workers positioned within the housing 8. The internal power panel 43 integrates along the inside surface of the housing 8 as shown in FIG. 3. As a result, the internal power panel 43 is easily accessible and controllable by a worker within the housing 8. The internal power panel 43 controls the flow of electricity to the electrically coupled components. The plurality of lights 44 further comprises a plurality of internal lights 441, a plurality of brake lights 442, and a plurality of ambiance lights 443.

Furthermore, the plurality of internal lights 441 integrates along the top side inside of the housing 8 as seen in FIG. 3. Consequently, the plurality of internal lights 441 provide ample lighting within the housing 8 to ensure workers can properly prepare taxes. The plurality of brake lights 442 integrates along the rear side of the housing 8. Accordingly, the plurality of brake lights 442 couples to the vehicle breaking system and illuminates as the vehicle breaks to indicate that the vehicle and the coupled housing 8 are slowing down while in transit. The plurality of brake lights 442 emits a red colored light that corresponds with the brake lights of the attached vehicle. The plurality of ambiance lights 443 integrates along the upper side of the housing 8. Thus, the plurality of ambiance lights 443 illuminate the outside of the housing 8. The plurality of ambiance lights 443 is designed to emit a yellow and orange color to enhance the visibility of the housing 8 in dark areas.

In reference to FIG. 1, the entry kiosk 5 is a computing system with a GUI. So, the kiosk is capable of running computing and processing software to allow the entry kiosk 5 to obtain, record, store and transfer data. The entry kiosk 5 is designed to allow clients to sign-up for services, enter general information, scan documents, and receive estimated wait times. The entry kiosk 5 enables clients to enter preliminary information to lower wait times. As a result, the clients can enter information before being seen by a worker, reducing the amount of time it takes for a worker to prepare the taxes for the client. The entry kiosk 5 integrates along the side of the housing 8 offset the side door 31. Consequently, the entry kiosk 5 is accessible for a client from the outside of the housing 8. The entry kiosk 5 comprises a screen 51 and a keyboard 52. The entry kiosk 5 transmits the entered data to the plurality of workstations 6. Once the client has entered the relevant information, the information is then stored and sent to the plurality of workstations 6 where a worker can retrieve the information and process the information for the client's tax preparations.

In reference to FIG. 4, the plurality of workstations 6 secures within the housing 8. Each of the plurality of workstations 6 are foldable desks attached to the inner wall of the housing 8. Furthermore, a latch secures each of the plurality of workstations 6 up against the wall while the housing 8 is in transit or more room within the housing 8 is needed. Accordingly, the plurality of workstations 6 are designed with fasteners to hold the plurality of workstations 6 to the floor of the inside of the housing 8. This design prevents the plurality of workstations 6 from shifting out of place while the housing 8 is being transported. Each of the plurality of workstations 6 further comprises a computer system 61, a Wi-Fi hotspot 62, and a chair.

Further, the computer system 61 prepares taxes for clients. Thus, the computer system 61 utilizes software for tax preparation. The Wi-Fi hotspot 62 provides a network for the computer system 61 and mobile devices. This design allows for the computer system 61 to access a network without being physically connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot 62. The chair is positioned offset the computer system 61 and enables a worker to prepare taxes at each of the plurality of workstations 6. Further, the printing station 7 further comprises a printer 7. The printer π electronically communicates with the computer system 61 as seen in FIG. 11. As a result, the printer 7 exchanges information with the computer system 61 to print documents as needed. The printer 7 receives data from the computer system. With all the components working in tandem with each other it can be seen that the present invention is a mobile tax office that provides people with an in-person tax filing service without needing to travel to a brick-and-mortar tax filing office.
