  3. Review a dependent-filing due-diligence question

    A due-diligence category is flagged for owner inquiry; the underlying taxpayer facts remain in the governed workflow.

Derived evidence / owner choice required

Allocate the final review reserve

How does Nora use the final 18 owner-review hours before the April deadline while 23 returns are ready and 14 remain incomplete?

constraint

what governs the choice

  • The practice does not file an unsupported position or invent missing source facts to meet a deadline.
  • No return is transmitted until the client has signed the applicable e-file authorization.
  • The owner does not exceed the declared 62-hour peak-week ceiling without an explicit capacity revision.
  • An extension of time to file is never represented as an extension of time to pay.

what the seed already wrote

8 decisions ahead, 3 paths through them

Every figure below was authored into the seed. Stepping a path re-derives the states its author already computed — nothing here is predicted.

Chases the missing papers, pilots planning sessions, adds seasonal admin — more room in the week, paid for in cash and a heavier load than staying solo.

Before any decision. Returns finished this season 164.
