Last Day of February - Volume Not In

[dascpa]

On this last day of February - individuals at 39.33% in. 60% to go just on individuals doesn't make for a fun few upcoming weeks.  Some is due to the investment houses being slow, others are it's just become the new normal.  Where are you at?

I'm also at 39% for individuals.  I happened to look last night and I am three in the door ahead of last year so they are coming in at a pace pretty much equal to last year.  Every year as April gets closer I wonder how in the world I am going to get all of those returns out the door but somehow it happens.  It must be the "Jim" in us that gets us across the finish line.

I feel it's become the new normal.    

Two clients I haven't seen since doing the 2021 return have come in this year with 2022 and 2023.  Each client had the same explanation.....was busy, didn't have time, blah blah blah

From just a percentage viewpoint, that seems to be on track or slightly ahead of the game.

I don't know about you, but I don't get much before February, so my "tax season" is roughly from February 3rd to April 14th, or about 10 weeks.  We are about 4 weeks in, so 40% would be on track.

I get a few in January, but I probably have more that have extensions.  For me, from a percentage viewpoint 40% would be slightly ahead of the game.

With that being said, the early returns tend to be shorter, easier returns than returns in the mid-to-late season so the later part of the season could be more work due to the longer, more difficult returns.

I am at 49% so I feel lucky.  Just wish Proseries would get their software issues fixed because they are making it tough.

Like taxguybill I don't usually have any come in until first week of February. It was slower than normal at first, but now it has picked up much more.
