I'm very disappointed. You all promised me an IRS announcement and it never happened. I really need these 1st qtr estimates to be delayed.

And tax returns are like spaghetti. The more I finish, the more there is on the plate. This s--t never ends. I'm only at 51% completion and I look at the pile to do and cry.

You just need to add some meatballs to that spaghetti and you'll be fine. For what it's worth, I think most preparers are dealing with that same plate of spaghetti this year. But when the dust all settles, I don't think the estimates are going to be a big deal. At some point between now and next filing season, the IRS has go to come out and say "just kidding" as far has April 15th date is concerned. They will receive to much pressure not to cave at some point.

Me toooooooooo......although I did make a "LITTLE" headway yesterday. Starting 04.01 I am going to a reduced/lighter schedule.

I want this season behind me!!!!!

My clients have been very patient. My normal turn around time is one to two weeks. I had someone pick up their return the other day that had been here for three weeks and he thanked me for getting things done so promptly.😕😕

The IRS announcement was that PPE expenses could be deducted as medical cost on Sched A. Not what you wanted but it was something.

Glad I'm not the only one that feels overwhelmed with the backlog. Worst thing is clients just don't understand or care. They just want their tax return done.

No one said you have to accept every late filing IDIOT who walks through the door as a client...

Just saying. You know how much work you can do / or want to do. Just say NO once you get to that point.

I don't take new clients. In fact, I have some I'd like to give away. Any takers?

I might be willing to trade some of mine for yours.

New idea - like sports teams trade players, online trading and auction of our clients. I'll trade you Jim for Mary, or because of salary caps I have to unload 200 of my clients for one Lamar Jackson. Maybe even start betting like FanDuels or Vegas. I'll bet the Hard-8 that John won't have all his documents when he comes in, or uploads? Let's make tax season fun again.
