I handed my CPA data in second half of February and they just got around to process mine after 5 weeks. I will not refer any clients to him any more as he is overloaded affecting our process.  The great thing is he has RE broker, financial investment, insurance licenses as well. After tax filing he provides a free tax strategy consultation.  Never have I been audited in 10 years.
