Roberts Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 No returns are expected to come into the office for 2+ weeks. two pickups remaining three I'm waiting for a small amount of data each but we've been given a 1-month extension. Waiting on e-file authorization from about 25 returns but I know on Monday I'll get 1 call for all of them that says - GO! I might have a beer or four tonight. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHoffman Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 One pick up left and all the 8879 forms are accounted for I have more extensions than ever before. Going to see how that works out. Have a 12 year old bottle of Glenlivet gifted by a nice client to celebrate our twelfth year of doing business. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Congrats! I'm definitely doing something wrong. So many of my clients have a cow if they go on extension. I will be busting my rear until Monday. The good side is I won't have as many people on extension bugging me to get them done in April while I'm trying to do payroll and property taxes. I have had so many complicated returns this year that it has really put me behind on smaller ones. Way too many new businesses started and too many late K-1s and 1099's. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grmy2h Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Last one picked up a few minutes ago. All done except my own which is a project for tomorrow. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDNY Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Every time I tell my wife I have nothing to do the phone rings, the fax starts up, I get an email and then tomorrow morning I go to the post office so who knows. But I'm on track to be done tomorrow. Just missing the usual late ones, and I'm not calling them this year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee B Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just switched gears earlier today. Back to monthly writeup, financial statements, payroll processing and quarterly reports. It's a wonderful life ! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have only a handful of federal extensions including for my own return. My state's due date is 5/2 so I'll finish most of the returns within a few days after a much needed break. Everything I have in is mostly complete at this point anyway. Like Lee, after that I'll get to the quarterlies and the accounting work 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMovichEA Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Finished with my last evening appointment for the season, and there's no other work to do afterwards. I'll get to the extensions after a nice break. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have two more left to file that are done and 32 more extensions to file. Usually that's all I have, but this year I've already filed almost 50 extensions. I left for my client conference today and will be filing from my hotel room. The two hour drive to San Jose actually did me a LOT of good. That and the nap before I left that my roommate insisted I take before driving. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have a LOT of extensions to file. Saturday. And a couple siblings with kiddie tax to proofread Friday, one sign/pick-up Friday (which means I have to shower and dress!), and maybe the family in Singapore to dig into Friday and try to complete by Monday. If I can squeeze in any little ones (I don't have little ones, especially in April) Sunday and Monday, it would stop some of the phone calls. I gave amounts to mail in to the clients who will mail in extension payments. Going to e-file extensions for all extensions, whether they tell me they're mailing or not. (Thank you, Jack, that's a good idea.) And, have a bunch that called and said please file extensions, so I have no info, so zeroes. I've had only one extension denied, and it was by CT a few years ago for a single mom who teaches violin and doesn't make much money. So, I hope this is not the year any government cracks down on "zero" extensions, because I think I may be e-filing more than my usual number of zeroes. Going to get some sleep before I have to shower and dress! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 One or two more returns to file (just waiting for 8879's to come in). Double-checked all extensions yesterday and had them all but one or two which are now filed. A couple of emails to return, then I turn my attention to quarterly payroll issues. Oh, and getting my own QB re-installed on this machine. Possibly seeing if the boat anchor machine can be revived. Sigh. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schirallicpa Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have never been so busy on the 15th! I'm usually at the grocery store by now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry D EA Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) First time for the last couple of years that I have been done before the last day of season!! All extensions filed. Hooray heading for the deck, sunshine and some good old NC sweet tea!! Another tax season behind us and I hope it has been a prosperous one for all.

FDNY Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thought I was done Saturday morning, ending a near Perfect Season, except for the few bumps and bruises. But yesterday, my first ID Theft of the year, Perfect, just Perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDEA Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Waiting for the onslaught tomorrow. Have six people working. Last year did 50 returns on the 15th. Office open today I am not there maybe some of the people will come today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCARTEREA Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 For the past 14 years, the last day of every tax season is chaos lol This year will be no different! Lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Haven't yet decided if I'll go in to the office on the 18th. Will definitely sleep in though, since all my extensions are already filed. Plus, I brought some write-up work home with me just in case I decide to stick around the house on Monday I did get a phone call on Saturday on my voice mail from a problem client of a few years ago. Fortunately she didn't leave a message and I'm hoping for her sake she gave in and spent some time at an HRB office over the weekend. If not, then if she reaches me on Monday that will still be my advice to her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry D EA Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 >>>>>But yesterday, my first ID Theft of the year,<<<<< I had the same thing happen Friday. Met with the folks yesterday to have them sign form 14039 and gave them a handout showing what they must do next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm done! Well I'll check my last two efiles when I get home tomorrow. Felt so good to be able to enjoy a day without anything hanging over my head. I could have finished yesterday but it's a bit of a pain logging in remotely. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Got a Reject for extensions for a new client, both her personal and partnership. Gotta print out paper and get to PO -- if PA accepts without a signature. Anyone here from PA know? Think that's all. Comparing the lists this morning.

joanmcq Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Well I did come home to a couple more I had missed, and filed those. Called some people that were making payments online and got them sorted out. Sent out a POA for so done I'm filing back returns. Paid my assistants. Took a nap. I am waiting on some ACKs, and for the Voice to start. Might watch lots of the final season of Justified. And told everyone that I'm taking the rest of the week off. Well, might do my own payroll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAXMAN Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I have about 80 extensions in house. Am I normal. What seems to be your average if you care to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHoffman Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 What percentage is that? Might be a more accurate measure since we all vary in our total returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joanmcq Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've got at least 84 at last count. I usually only have 30-35. Biz is up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richcpaman Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Well... we have 90 extensions. Most (60?) were the same people as last year who always go on extension, 15 were "just in case" those that we were working on down to the line, and may have gotten finished, but we extended them around the 10th to avoid issues. The other 15 were "defensive" folks who we have done work for, but not heard from them, yet, etc. That is out of about 570 returns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
