Abby Normal Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I've got my clients trained pretty well to not use staples. I have a sentence in bold in my organizer letter that asks them not to use staples. It's cut way down on the stapled documents we receive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I used to have a client that stapled a color coded scrap of paper to every form that she brought me labeling the form (W2, 1099, I don't know what this is...) I guess she thought she was helping me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catherine Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 We have over 60 from whom we have heard nothing. About half of these will call on April 14th with some variation on "I *really* thought I was going to get you my stuff on time *this* year but I guess not so please put me on extension" and the rest either surface in July-August (to ask about "second extension" again, forgetting that those no longer exist even though we keep telling them). We start preparing extensions next week, so that they're all ready to go in early, then we contact the ones we know/suspect won't contact us. The "regulars" we'll just put in - you could set your calendar by some of these folks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I just told an entire family, including the kids with part-time jobs, that they're going on extension, because they're leaving for Barbados by 12 April. Anyone not available through 15 April, probably through 11:59 p.m., is going on extension! Probably because I'm jealous that they get to go on vacation while I work. But, to them, it's the new tax law and forms, the shortened tax season, blah, blah, blah. I did prepare the partnership return for the parents' biz on time. And, I'll get them their ES amounts this weekend, so they can pay those before they leave. But, really, don't tell me 30 March that you'll be out of the country over spring break! I used to tell them to watch for my emails and deal with it in their hotel's biz center, but now it's just extensions, no arguments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 I tell my clients that, the extension gives them till August 15. Guess when the tax info rolls in...? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crank Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Staples bother me but not as much as: 1. People who dont bother to open their mail. 2. Getting documents all crumpled up in a bag. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have plenty of time to work through them. They are usually the most messed up of the season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 All right where did you get that handy dandy staples puller? Or rather what brand is it. I simply gotta have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
