After you file

@debskain - The government shutdown lasted long-enough that all of the work was back-logged.  So, while waiting for tax returns to arrive, other work that would have been done in the early months of this year was not done.  And yes, it also has to do with the PATH ACT and verifying what employers report on W2s for income vs. what was reported on the tax return.  Big tax credits require review.  I'm fine with waiting, but geeze!
