    Merry Christmas to everyone.  Here's a favorite of mine:

    Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

    By Robert Frost 1874–1963 Robert Frost

    Whose woods these are I think I know.   
    His house is in the village though;   
    He will not see me stopping here   
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.   
     
    My little horse must think it queer   
    To stop without a farmhouse near   
    Between the woods and frozen lake   
    The darkest evening of the year.   
     
    He gives his harness bells a shake   
    To ask if there is some mistake.   
    The only other sound’s the sweep   
    Of easy wind and downy flake.   
     
    The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   
    But I have promises to keep,   
    And miles to go before I sleep,   
    And miles to go before I sleep.

    With more people losing jobs every day; there are many who are looking for a way to produce income another way... 

    I think you're right -- they're coming in the windows.  TurboTax has killed off quite a bit of the "easy" short-form traffic -- "free" federal is pretty hard to compete with and thank Allah that AR has a state tax.  Too, new franchises pop up quickly.  Sometime ago a client from the (now defunct, I think) "MO-MONEY" outfit stopped by asking me to fix his rejected EF; said they couldn't/wouldn't fix it.  He wasn't my former client and I didn't have the time to try (more holes in it than a dartboard), but, curious, I asked why he left his previous preparer.  Reply: "They gave me a free T-shirt."  Go figure. Maybe I need to offer a six-pack with every return......
