GLJEANNE Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Oy! I have a lot to finish - mostly waiting on the TP, of course - but as of this afternoon I have at least started every return, which makes me feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel that isn't just a train. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm definitely setting a record for number of returns done by 4/17 this year! I'm close to the record now. All have been entered by my staff but some are missing documents and no way we're bugging them. Ball's in their court. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NECPA in NEBRASKA Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I am way ahead of last year for returns finished, but I am really slowed down right now on some large ones for elderly clients, several with dementia. One switched brokers and sold all of their investments when they went to the new one. I am slowly using tax tools to figure the basis back to 2001. Apparently the old broker said that they would not or could not provide the basis. I wish that I could just push the easier ones to the front, but that's not fair to the more difficult ones. I love my elderly clients, many have been with me since I was a college intern. I wish some of the younger ones had their patience. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 I slip the easy ones in whenever I have half an hour until going home or lunch, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have experienced the same thing and have been trying to figure out why! I put in a lot more hours early and mid season to be where I am today. That said, we will still have about 60 extensions. Which is about normal for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasdlm Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 73. I'm totally bummed :(. I really DID NOT want to work this weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possi Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 45 in the hole. I had a lot come in early, too. I think it's because they have learned that coming in late makes me a very stressed out, unhappy woman.. even though I view every single return as $$$ for fine wine after tax season. And that makes me smile again. I am really happy that I hired an assistant last year who is actually interested in learning the business. Hopefully, one day she will run it and I can hang out with Rita in TN during tax season. That is my goal in life. To laugh my way through it, and hug those special clients! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
