A HEADS UP FOR MY 1040 CLIENTS

In an attempt to keep the work flow manageable I will be extending BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WEDNESDAY through Friday this week.

I will be unavailable and inaccessible today (Wednesday), tomorrow (Thursday), and Friday.

I was hoping for 25 inches of snow this week - but with all the sunny weather I need to lock myself away anyway.

Thanks!
