I don't have books and it isn't likely that I will get complete or accurate books today. Would you file an estimated partnership return or a return with 0s?

Neither method would result in a correct return and your name is on it, so I would not file anything. Not a preparer's problem when clients don't get their stuff to us timely.

I tend to agree with Jeff.... but, why aren't the books ready?
If there's a really good reason, the penalties for late filing might be abated.
If the client is just 'lazy'; too bad, so sad & perhaps a lesson will be learned?
The Bookkeeper is notoriously flaky and has family priorities which she places before her client work. This would not be a reasonable cause, in my opinion. (The client doesn't yet have the will to fire the bookkeeper, contrary to my advice.)
The lesson to be learned is a point I regard, and I do hope my client learns it too.
Thank you kindly.
We do have a general notion that revenue is higher than 2020. But any numbers will be inaccurate by a factor which is unknown.
I probably, to my fault, let client problems become my own.
I have been trying to get the client to fire the bookkeeper.
I let the client know that they need to choose a different bookkeeper or choose me.
