I always wonder what the competition is doing.  Isn't there some online chat group where practitioners with different software can compare notes?

Is this unacceptable and disgraceful for the client, or just for your convenience?  If the client is expecting a huge refund, they need to be educated on how to avoid overpayments.  If they have a balance due, do they really need to pay before April 15?  If so, they can always make a payment without filing the return.  I suspect it's more an issue of just wanting to cross another return off the list.
