Obviously not official.  Would like 7/15, but will take 5/15 / 5/17.

Now it's semi official, either May 15th or May 17th is being considered.

No official announcement yet.

It's official - May 17th.

I'm pretending it hasn't changed.  Still filing extensions before Apr 15, unless the client info fails to show up.   A month is something, but not much.

I'll do as many as I can by April 15 with the longer hours.  I will cut back to normal hours (and less) after April 15.  But I won't do extensions for April 15.  I'll be able to get more returns done by May 17 so why do the extra work and time.

I spent a little bit of time today watching TV & playing games.  Now back to the salt mines.

Last year I added an hour/night to my sleep when the IRS extended the deadline. With this short extension, I'm not doing that !! I am going to keep preparing returns longer before breaking my stride to prepare extensions, though. Maybe the first week in May.

Kentucky legislation out on recess while the governor has his veto period.  Whatever that means.  Ky legislation due back March 29.  Ky Society of CPAs are trying to emphasize the need to conform.  Sheesh.
