taxguy057 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I hate the beginning of the efile season. You advise your clients one thing then lo and behold they change it around and you look crazy in front of clients.... :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcjenkins Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Well, the mistake is telling them the most optimistic date or time. If you tell them "we can't start filing until the 15th, then the IRS takes several days to get their system working, so expect it by the next Monday at best" you won't lead them to unreasonable expectations.

TaxmannEA Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I always tell my clients that they may have a delay due to system problems. I NEVER give anyone a firm date to expect a refund or action on anything. (They still blame me, but at least I know that I warned them.)

kcjenkins Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Well, best thing is just to remind them that you have no control over the IRS processing, and so all you can give them is an ESTIMATE, at best. And I tend to be just a tiny bit pessimistic until I've had enough feedback to know how the season is flowing. Later, with more data, I can give an estimate with more comfort. Right now, I just remember a couple of years ago, when the IRS had major problems in the first two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
