    What do you see?

    Are W-2 forms coming out earlier or not?

    'bout the same. But I rarely have any clients in before this week.

    Looking forward to having about 5 by 1/31!

      later here

      The two big employers here in town still have not given out their w-2's. I expect to be slammed on Friday. I also have not seen several of the smaller employers w-2's. I hope that doesn't mean they are not coming to me this year!

        Not sure. I don't really see many people until mid-February or so.

            So far I have only 3 personal returns come in. I believe the W-2s are coming in late also.

              Hard to say

              For most of the month of January, "The Sounds of Silence" is quite appropriate around here.

              Now as for those EITC folks down at the green box place, who knows?!?

                W-2 received

                Only 3 as of today - one of which is one that I issued myself to an employee
                Not even all of the Bank 1099 INT, nor SSA statements yet - personally

                Seems slow - but I don't prepare many returns for single W--2's or the EITC group.

                But, I like others, really don't start to process returns much before the 2nd week in February.

                  I have my W-2, most of my INT. waiting for 1099-Rs & my brokerage statement.

                  The biggest employer among my clients is the State of CA, and their W-2s arrived in Sacramento mailboxes Saturday....I already filed 2 clients. And the acks are coming back really quickly!

                    No but have heard from many "shoppers"

                    My first scheduled appointment is for Wednesday. Hopefully it is not a stretch of my imagination that he has all his W-2's and 1099's.

                    I've said it before but this year I am resolute not to take on any new clients. So you'd know once I dug in my heals, emails and calls would be coming out of the woodwork looking for someone new to prepare their taxes! My wife and I are the only ones in my business and I do all the actual tax prep. We did 365 sets last year and I just don't feel like I want to be any busier than that. Seeing the cash flow of new clients going elsewhere kind of hurts but being in our early 60's makes me realize I don't want to be in this business forever either. We've been at it over 30 years already.

                      Same?

                      Never see much in January, so don't know if the timing is the same or not.

                        Very Slow

                        We are down about 55. At this rate, we might be down a lot this year. Hope not. How is everyone else looking now that this tread is a week older?

                            More

                            Did none last year in January. Completed five so far with lots of early telephone calls too.

                              I believe "Free File" is cutting in or at least delaying those quicky returns.............
