Hi everyone, 

Great questions.

In essence, of course, my client should have taken steps sooner. Worth noting, she thought 2021 was completed. She thought there were extensions for 2022, 2023, and 2024. She didn't know that your extensions don't last that long - from year to year. We did recreate everything for the last three years. She was surprised again for 2021. 

I don't know if the preparer has passed on, however, she is local and client has been to her home several times knocking on the door to no avail; no one ever answers. Preparer has family that is local, and said family, specifically preparer's mother, has indicated that preparer will get back to people but that never happens.  

Frankly, she very well might be overwhelmed but at least return the documents!!! 

I can't help but think it is straight up theft to keep someone's paperwork with all of their ssn's, addresses, etc. 

Just not right! 

But, you betcha, that I will assist her in recreating and researching all that we can for 2021.
