42 days left

- 1040s, about 550, about 850 more to go

- 1065s, 1120s, 1120S, about 40 done so far, maybe 45 more about to do

- still doing payroll and company books also 

It looks to me like there is going to be a lot of extensions filed this year.

1040's complete - 28.57%

1065/1120/1120S/1041 complete - 29.63%

Current backlog of stuff that's in - 6 years

- as many as possible

- too many      I try not to think about what's not done until it's closer to October    

You can have more than 42 days. Extensions can be your friend.

I haven’t started any returns yet.  I have extended all of my clients and plan on starting preparing returns after April 18th.  That should allow enough time for Intuit to have most of the forms finalized, the brokerages enough time to have their amended 1099s finalized, and allow my clients to find that last W-2 they forgot about for the other job they worked for half of the year.

I count 46 through April 18, which as I tell my clients is just another fine spring day during baseball season. Those who are trying to avoid being "woke" from efforts of the "weaponized" IRS to convince them that there is something wrong with automatic extensions to October can go back to protesting the results of the 1960 election, with its stolen votes in Illinois and Texas.  I'm way behind because I'm reading @IRonMaN  stories about lawyers who died in 1993.  

I don't  think I have ever seen as many reactions to as post as I have seen with this one.

Must be a Jim thing.  I am working on #649 now.  But I have a secretary who can enter all basic data so all I need to do is check W-2's, 1099's etc and concentrate on the hard stuff such as business and farms and rentals. And we probably have about 25-30 kids in there already who just have 1 or 2 W-2's.  Don't ask how many we have ready to start yet; that is already took most info and just lying in filing cabinet.  Looks like maybe 40 are back there.
