I feel guiltier and guiltier for not having my taxes done every time I read your posts. Luckily, I'm the only one who's going to be rushing at the last minute to do them. But if I didn't do them myself, I'm pretty sure I'd be hated by my accountant. Sorry :(
I just hate the people who assume I pop into existence only when they think of me. For example, the people who are just now sending me the last pieces of data and follow up within minutes with "can I stop by tomorrow at lunch-time to pick this up" as if I have NOTHING else to do but a.) work on their stuff when they don't have an appointment scheduled AND b.) I'm fine with giving up my lunch break.
I double-booked lunch yesterday with two other people, neither of whom were me.
Extensions are on time to FILE, not on time to pay. To do an extension right I need to rough in their return and see if they owe, then calculate up an extension payment that combines their balance due with their first quarterly and get them the vouchers for them to mail. Plus get a deposit from them.
I'm happy to put people on extension that expect refunds; it's three minute's work. But *THOSE* people want their refunds. Now. Because, having waited until April 15th they cannot stand waiting two more weeks. It pisses them off to go on extension.
But the fact is, the only safe extensions are ones with refunds.
