if you\u2019re having one of the toughest tax seasons in years, you\u2019re not alone. in fact, you’re one in an unusually large crowd.<\/p>\n

unless trends reverse in the last four weeks of tax season 2013, many practitioners \u2013 mainly those practicing solo or in small firms \u2013 should be bracing for significant declines in revenues and profits from last year.<\/p>\n

t<\/strong>ax season trending:
\nbetter or worse than last year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

some 64% of solo practitioners are reporting “worse” trends than last year, with half of them terming it “much” worse. about 16% are enjoying “better” trends overall.<\/p>\n

to be sure, small firms may be feeling more than their fair share of pain. but many larger firms are hurting too. among the largest firms surveyed, 30% are experiencing positive trends, with 50% reporting negative trends.<\/p>\n
