I don't know about anyone else, but I would welcome it. My mother passed away much sooner than expected on 2/18 and we had the funeral yesterday. I am waaaaay behind, because I spent as much time with her as possible. Most of my clients have been very understanding. We still have so much to do in her house, but my sister took a leave of absence to help out as much as she can. I really wish that this was going to be a normally difficult tax season, but no such luck.

Bonnie, I am so very sorry to hear of this terrible loss.  You do know that all of us here hold you in our hearts and prayers.  Be sure to ask for any help we might give.  Family is always first, period, so am grateful that you took the time you needed.  It seems at least most of your clients understand.  Those that don't are not really worth having.

Take care of yourself, too.  And lean on us.

I would welcome a 15 July deadline. It lets me work longer before I have to stop to prepare extensions.

And, to keep it separate from tax stuff...

I'm very sorry you lost your mother and very glad you spent time with her. Do what you have to do. And, keep us in the loop. We all care for you and your health and your well-being during this very strange time for grieving. Prayers.

[GLJEANNE]

Oh Bonnie, I'm sorry.  May her memory be for a blessing.  I'm sure your clients will continue to be understanding, if you have to go for extensions.

Bonnie, I am so sorry for your loss.  I know this is going to be a tough and stressful tax season for you.  If you need someone to listen, we are here for you.

Bonnie, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.  As others have already said, please know that you have our support and are here for you when you need us.

Thank you. I may need some help with the trust when we get everything settled. I was going to apply for the Employer ID# online, but it looks like my brother will have to do it. I am a trustee, but he is the executor, so I will have to fill it out and he can apply online.

FWIW There was a post on, (I think), the Drake forum that said this can only be done during certain hours - and the earlier the better.  (7 or 8 am EST IIRC)

Also, prayers, and hoping your son is still flying high!

Actually it was here in a thread titled "EIN for Estate"

Max posted: Did you try during 7 AM and 10 PM EST?

Thank you! He is still a captain for SkyWest and living in Colorado. He should get a promotion next month to check airman. He will be one of the youngest to get this chance. (Sorry, I am a proud mom.)

Why be sorry?  Congratulations to your son!
