I took on too much business, and with each day I become further away from being able to file on time for many clients.
A 2020 tax year IRS postponement of the deadline is not a long term solution.
These clients "expect" that I will "hold their spots" for them (I've never promised any such thing - but they feel as if I'm obligated).
Please rate my "can" (Edited):
Dear Client,
I understand that you receive your tax documents after our ability to file without an extension and that this creates a stressful situation.
This is a problem that affects the clients of most established/in-demand CPA and EA firms and is very typical in the industry.
One option is that you can generally walk into a retail storefront and have your taxes completed within a few hours.
The other is to have us file an extension for you. The advantage of staying with us is having a tax practitioner who is more caring about your situation, generally more experienced, and more secure/careful in the way your data is handled. Handling your taxes is much more than just “transactional” to me.
If you wish to proceed, please continue with uploading your documents promptly and we will provide guidance accordingly.
Sincerely,
