All in one day:
1. "My daughter applied for a job and when the background check was run it appears that her identity was stolen. What do I do? I don't know who else to call."
2. Acquaintance, not a client, called. "I am trying to do my own return and need help. Are you busy?"
3. Client shows up. Received two checks, each $4.10, for "Insurance Litigation Settlement". "What is this?" I asked if she received previous correspondence. She has no clue. Researched using Google and found information to give her.
4. Neighbor showed up, just to chat. 35 minutes lost. His sis is a CPA and knows how busy we are.
5. Tardy client called. "Get extension, but my daughter is filing herself. Claiming herself. Student." Parents pay tuition and I told her no tax credit since they aren't claiming her. I asked what kind of wages did her daughter have, with the standard deduction and exemption she probably wouldn't get much of a tax credit and that is lost. All of this flew over her head and she is a school teacher. Scarey.
And then I wonder why I can't get returns out.
