<\/a>pros are gaining ground in e-filings.<\/strong><\/p>\n by beth bellor<\/i> we\u2019re halfway through tax season! woohoo, blow the party horns!<\/p>\n more tax season data: <\/b>tax pros filing only 51% of e-returns<\/a> | tax refunds up slightly<\/a> | tax filings data looking less squirrely<\/a> | tax return filings still lag, but pros hold 57% of market<\/a> | tax filings down, but irs blames the calendar<\/a> where\u2019s your horn? you don\u2019t seem to be celebrating. what up, dog?<\/p>\n filing statistics are down, and some of you aren\u2019t shy about suggesting why. cpa john. r brougher iii said, \u201cwell, let\u2019s see\u2026what have i been busy with this year? oh yeah\u2026making sure all 1099s & w-2s to the irs and ssa by jan. 31 instead of having more time to fit those submissions in. correcting the filings of same that went out with errors that would have otherwise been caught prior to sending the irs\/ssa copies later rather than sooner. the rest of my time has been spent dealing with trying to get the partnership returns out the door a month earlier than before for the people who actually expect them to be filed by the due date without extensions. every now and then, i get to work on a personal return.\u201d<\/p>\n ruth wenger, cpa and mba, agreed and noted, \u201cmany more people are self-preparing because the software companies, through which we buy expensive tax software, are providing low-cost or free filing to taxpayers. so, essentially the accountants are competing with the very same companies holding us hostage to their software! i see no reversal in this trend. i prepare primarily business returns and very complicated 1040s. the straightforward returns have largely gone away.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cthis trend has been foreseeable for quite a few years. well over a decade, in fact,\u201d jassen bowman advised. \u201ci would hope by now that most practitioners have at least *started* transitioning into either more lucrative services, or carving out niche specializations for their 1040 services (high net worth individuals, physicians, real estate investors, business returns only, etc). again, the data and warning signs have been quite clear for years. it\u2019s our responsibility as business owners to adapt to the market, not to expect the market to remain stagnant or constrained to our business models.\u201d<\/p>\n so where do we stand?<\/p>\n
