This was a tough season.

There were lots of changes to the tax codes that happened mid-year.

in 2025 so so the irs isn't quite wasn't quite ready to handle everything and in fact we had a couple cases some unusual cases that the they wouldn't accept the returns from some of our clients because of these very uh specific things having to do with those tax laws so then these clients we have to go back them tell all you have to file manually on paper as opposed to electronically what

Yeah.

Yeah.

In a couple of cases, we had to do that.

We had more rejects this year of electronic filings than we've had in many years.

And we attributed a lot to that.

Plus, the problem with the IRS in the United States right now is it's woefully understaffed.

There's been cuts everywhere, everywhere.

And it has all these downstream impacts on everything having to do with IRS.

I'm supposed to.

I haven't yet.

Well, normally, and in prior years, they have done things like that in which they pretty much let everything go through and they just sort it out on the other side.
