I'm still up. Finished a new client, family of five (four returns) where dad picked up and paid. A client who dropped off a very long time ago checked in via telephone. She kinda gave me an opening, so I asked her if I could please put her on extension. I lost my voice and sound pretty dreadful on the telephone, so she gave me permission. Another contacted me recently with an IRS letter with a short deadline. She volunteered to call them to request more time and received until 5 May or so. I also got her to volunteer to go on extension. My lost voice is gaining me some sympathy from my female clients. The males are more adamant about filing by 17 April. I have several who need Easter delivery to accommodate family signatures. And some are calling to say they're leaving on vacation. Couldn't they have mentioned that when they dropped off? Gotta get over this sinus infection or whatever this is and get my energy back to get through the next couple of weeks. Good luck to all of us putting in late nights &/or early mornings &/or seven day weeks.

Only 9:30 here. But just finished helping a new client respond to an IRS nastygram related to 2010. I tried to put him off until after 4/17, but since they "asked" him to respond by 4/17 I went ahead and helped him. He asked for just a 1/2 hour of my time to help figure out how to fix. When he got here (15 minutes late) I found out he wanted me to amend it for him. Oh well. Turned into 2 hours. But it's done. He no longer owes them $8K and is instead getting a $120 refund. So nice of IRS to find the error for him!

>>state forms are printing in some random crazy order<< Everybody wants to complain without taking personal responsibility. How do you expect software to print in the correct order if you don't bother to pre-sort the blank sheets before loading them into the printer?
