1) I DO NOT extend past 4/15 unless absolutely necessary, I need it to end. Only do about 2 or 3 late per year, mostly snow birds that are not back yet.
2) The new laws are for next year, and are not necessarily simpler. This year will be very difficult as I try to explain next year to everyone.
Tax season (2.5 months) is the only time of the year that I'm working full time, but it is 7 days a week, long hours each day. You have to mentally prepare yourself for it, or it will burn you out. Part of how I get through it is looking forward to it ending. Keep in mind, I am the office, there are no support staff, I print, assemble, mail, etc. You can not get behind or it will run you over like a steam roller.
Besides, if I can squeeze any free time, 4/5 is my Daughter's birthday.
