You can train your clients but can they train their kids?

IRS is now working on amended returns filed in February 2025.  Past performance is not always an indicator of future results.  IRS is losing lots of revenue agents and revenue officers, but the lower-graded tax examiners and contact reps are still at 90% capacity.  (This may change without notice or reason.)  

I'm not sure how paper filing will speed the process.  I have been dealing with a case where the noncustodial parent is entitled to claim the dependent but the custodial parent filed first and incorrectly.  Refund on a paper return took about three months.  But I don't think the custodial parent filed anything, so it's probably a matter of "pay now and ask questions, or send them a warning, later."
