Wow - can you tell it's near the end of February

Stress is one thing, and yep, I'm stressed to the max.  I'm guessing most all tax pros are right now.

That, however, does NOT justify the sense of entitlement that seems to be *blossoming*.   I love helping out folks; I've said many time I had great mentors as I was learning this business and I like to pay it forward.  But only to those that don't demand it as their "right" just 'cuz they figured out how to log on to this forum.  

@dkh @abctax55 what amazes me is not only do they demand an answer sometimes, and think they are entitled to it, when they do get the answer, some do not have the common courtesy to say "thank you". That is something I was always taught to say, and I say "thank you" all the time, probably when it isn't even necessary. Another reason it has become so stressful is it appears we are getting all of the difficult returns, I.E. the 49 million people or so that go to "free e-file" probably have easier returns, and then VITA picks up a lot of other easier returns,  and guess what, we are stuck with the more difficult returns .... Just my opinion
