I hate to be a spoil sport however about 6 years ago I decided that all of my clients who were computer literate would begin receiving an encrypted pdf file instead of a printed hard copy return. At that time only 2 objected and I advised them there would be an additional $100 fee for paper copies as with a pdf file they can print at will. I now print 3 tax returns per season out of about 130 clients, including business clients. Think of the savings of time, supplies, and especially the environment.

I don't think I have ever had an OIC that took less than 6 months to be processed. Some have taken several months longer. So what is a few more weeks? I always tell my clients 6 to 8 months if it is an individual, and 8 to 12 months if it is a business, or Sch C.

Excellent answer, Tom, and I agree with you completely! One of the dangers of relying on any advice from others, here or elsewhere, is that it's entirely possible to give a correct answer to a question asked, but as we've seen in several topics very recently, after multiple queries from those trying to provide useful guidance and answers, the actual fact pattern was revealed to be vastly different than as originally presented to us! And that, my friends, is one reason we never help those from the general public that stumble in on occasion.

That is a great sentiment. But like Ronald Reagan said "Trust but Verify". I trust a lot of people on this board to point me in the right direction. But I do my own research and I reach my own conclusions. After all, it is my signature on the bottom of that return, not Eric. Tom Modesto, CA
