Time Spent "ADJUSTMENT OPTION"

[NonaFisher]

There are times that a tax file is inadvertently left open longer than the actual time that is spent working on the file. It would be wonderful and useful if there was an option to ADJUST the time spent on a return if that should happen. Either by the user or by an administrator.

What are the reasons to adjust the time?

Thanks for the idea to adjust time spent on return. We are changing the status to "Open for voting" since it is no longer considered "New".

@NonaFisher Are you importing the time into a billing module?  How are you using the time spent information?

[NonaFisher]

Total time spent working on returns is monitored to determine if our form billing fees are accurate and/or if the fees need to be adjusted in future years. Monitoring time spent on returns also allows us to determine if a tax client is a "problem client" and if a "problem client" does management need to release the client from future services.

Thank you. That is useful for my practice.
