i have noticed that
more than 80% of my returns from last year have already been done this year. don't know what to attribute this to, but looks like i might have a slower than usual March

Originally posted by Gene VI’ve been doing more clients this February then last, probably because on my cover letter that I sent out with my organizer, I put in bold letters NO APPOINTMENTS IN APRIL
If I sent that notice to my clients, they would just think, "She doesn't mean me." And they would still drag in in April.

March 31
I've been doing March 31 for years. Last year I had enough of the April call-ins and I enforced my rules and sent them on their way if they did not want to file an extension. I just had all I could take from the same late appointments. But I did take in new clients and told them of my March 31st cutoff. They already file their return this year.
By April first (I) we have had enough. The extra money just isn't worth it. There is just too much finishing up work to do by April 15th.This post is for discussion purposes only and should be verified with other sources before actual use.

More Returns?
My cut-off date is March 20th this year. I have been following this for many years now. However, this is the first year in 19 years that I have had so many of my so-called "Large" clients bringing in their returns this early in tax season. Most usually wait until about the week betfore my cut-off date. In fact, I have been so busy with appointments that I am falling behind in preparing returns. I hired part-time help and if it wasn't for that person getting returns out, I would be in deep d*d*. My original plans on hiring a part-time person was to eliminate me working 8 days a week, Sunday through Sunday. However, with such a good response to my year-end newsletter on bringing in returns early, I have had to go back to working on Sundays, at least 4 to 6 hours. But, I am ahead on collections, and for that I am thankful.Jiggers, EA

early filers
It's been gangbusters since last week of Jan. And not just the typical early filers- the one W-2, 2 kids, EIC folks, but the two income homeowners with 2-3 kids, too, who usually would filter in a bit later in the season. Seems to be a desire to get the refunds, which in this geographical location may be in part attributable to very high home heating costs, skyrocketing real estate taxes, as well as some layoffs by large employers, and overextension on home financing. So, good news for our business, but I'm sensing the reason is a financial pinch some people are experiencing. Not scientific certainly, just an empirical offering. Cheers to all you hard workers!

Owe.......
.......... Over the years I have instructed those type of clients that it is better to know how much they OWE as early as possible so that they can get their finances in order. And that just because the return is completed they are not required to file or pay until 04/15.This post is for discussion purposes only and should be verified with other sources before actual use.
