If a person walks into your office on January 15th with five W-2s I will bet you 10 pounds of lutefisk that there will be a 6th or 7th arriving shortly after that return is filed.  Everybody is hot to trot to get their refund and most preparers are hot to trot to get that return prepared and filed so they can collect their big bucks for their preparation work.  Should I throw in the additional fact that a lot of preparers using Intuit software aren't exactly rocket scientists?
