I think they're gearing up because people are planning on not filing taxes.This is antecdotal, but we live in a tiny little town in rural Missouri. Our accountant told us last week that she had at least 20 clients who were choosing to not file taxes at all until the government is straightened out. I'm talking a town of roughly 2k people and she isn't the only one who does taxes here. If so many in just her pool of clients are standing up and refusing to file, I imagine that many, many more are doing the same.
