fredazcpa Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 it takes about 4 or 5 years for them to understand when they have it all, it is not ALL, they always forget something. Some times I catch it on the intake most of the time not, because they are worried about the deductions 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Elderly client made appointment weeks ago. Two daughters are handling his paperwork. We start the return when they all three get here, and I get the information about his rental property and medical deductions from one daughter. She asks what else I need. I tell her all the 1099s for interest and dividends, the social security statements, his charitable contributions, his wife's IRA withdrawal. Other daughter says, I have all of that, I can drop it off tomorrow. What are they thinking?????????? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDNY Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I have many old...sorry, longtime clients who are well trained by me to send a fairly complete package every year. But it is their kids, the 20, and the 30 somethings who year after year send me such a disorganized mess, missing docs, and with round numbers in the 100s or 1000s, and after multiple phone calls (they hate talking on the phone that's why I call) and e mails (their preference) it takes forever to get their file out of the rack. One even forgot to tell me they had a baby, after I congratulated him, which I found out from the grandparent. Makes me crazy, thank goodness for Motrin. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
