There are so many stressors of tax season.  The short period and it's getting shorter since forms and documents are not out timely.  The software. The frustrating clients who don't have everything, or who answer your eight questions with eight emails over eight days rather than all at once.  My system tracks and automatically archives emails.  I get over 40,000 emails during tax season.  That's a full time job.  Then the computer breaks, the printer jams and everything else. I should be a Walmart greeter.

Today is my last day of accepting new returns.  Every year I have a cut-off of the last Saturday in March.  There are so many meetings, uploads, drop-offs that I need time to actually work on tax returns.  And yes, close to 50% of my clients still come these last ten days before my cutoff.  It's a killer.
