6 hours in the tax office, and 1 customer. As a newb I have to watch an experienced preparer do 3 returns before I can do one for a client. I sat and watched as she prepared a very simple return for a young man and then quoted him a ridiculous price for the service. I secretly cheered on the inside when he decided he would rather attempt to do his own taxes than pay us that much to do them.
(We have no control over the pricing, BTW, the fees are fixed by the corporate office.)
It might be a long tax season.
