Margaret CPA in OH Posted November 5, 2019 Report Posted November 5, 2019 I've never had such a late client - new, artist in New York. She has yet to get me her data. Is e-filing still possible given the above cut off times? Quote
Lion EA Posted November 5, 2019 Report Posted November 5, 2019 I have three to do who brought me their documents after 15 October. I prepared the "easy" one yesterday to get it out of the way -- but, her SS and her pension documents are missing! Mom is elderly and frail; daughter is dealing with her finances but is an artist and not computer literate. What is it about artists?! (I have a few.) I told her to telephone SSA and retirement board. (Also, missing cost basis info, but I telephoned broker.) I did tell her after 15 November she will have to decide between mailing paper returns or waiting until mid-January. Oh well, on to the next one. Quote

BulldogTom Posted January 6, 2020 Report Posted January 6, 2020 Thank you. That seems late. Must be the extender bill that Congress passed that they need to test for. Tom Modesto, CA Quote
