Longest tax return you have prepared (hours)

[ILLMAS]

What’s is the longest time it has taken you to prepare a return for a client that has multiple business intermingled with one another?

Including the time it took to get the client to dredge up all the records?  Two and a half years since the first docs showed up.  Subsequent years have taken less time, but the client I'm thinking of usually files a minimum of six months after extension deadline has passed.

One tax return, that I recall taking the longest was my very first one.  I only had this for calculations...

                                                    

I finished it just before I retired.  I got me one of these fancy store, plugin, button pushing gismo's.....

I will let you know when I finally get the documents from the client to finish it.
