One and done

[rfassett]

I have gone a day over when I thought I could be done but the staff kicked in today to prepare the 100+ extensions allowing me to complete a 1065 and the two partners returns, an 1120S and the two shareholders returns and another semi-complicated 1040 today.  Now I have one that I am committed to completing by tomorrow mid-morning.  I know I have everything because I have three paper-size boxes full of the info.  Two complicated Schedule C's and a new mobile park business.  This could go deep into the night.  But then I will be done.  E-file some returns in the morning, finalize the extensions - and then I will close the book on Tax Season 2015.

 

Hope you all are as close or closer!

MAN, you work fast - but it sounds like you are not getting interrupted and having a zillion phone calls and people stopping in or throwing temper tantrums as they are asked if they would wait until Tuesday instead of Monday...

Well, probably less interrupted than some. My staff does a great job of filtering my calls this time of year.  But the day was not without interruptions.  I have my share of "selling" the return interruptions.  One today - "why do I owe so much state tax".  Because your brokerage statement shows $15,000 of interest income.  So a half hour later and an extended call to the broker, we were right back where we started with waiting for him to sign the 8879. He did. Paid me.  And I was back to work on the other returns.  Several occurrences like that today - but that was the most time consuming.
