kcjenkins Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I wonder how much of the delay is due to the massive ice storm? I know some towns are still without power today, and I know some people are looking for preparers in other towns, so that they can get their taxes done now. It was a wide storm, with lots of areas affected. As for the free filers cutting into business, there will be some, of course. But the same trends pushing some to 'save money', are the same things that will drive others to a professional for the first time. Foreclosures, for example. NOL's, as well. Two sides to every issue.
