This delay is simply unacceptable.  As others have mentioned, I am falling further and further behind with each passing day.  By the time we get to February 12, I expect to have somewhere around 75 tax returns ready to go.  Do you have any idea how long it is going to take me to collate, process, and efile those 75 tax returns?  That is time I am not going to get paid for since I cannot justify passing along the additional cost associated with the time needed to process these returns to my clients.  This situation needs to be resolved NOW.
