I think you've posted this in the wrong forum. This is the regional forum for Middle East and North Africa.

Your question is difficult to answer because every tax payer's financial situation is different. A 20 year old with a part time job can complete a tax return in about 15 minutes if they have their W-2 (earnings statement). If the tax payer has multiple income sources and investment interests it can take substantially longer to gather all the documentation and research all the correct deductions. If properties were bought or sold, if there was an inheritance...many factors go in to someones personal tax filing. Just FYI tax returns are required to be submitted by April 15 (or 18) for the previous year. So 2010 tax returns should have been filed in April 2011. Extensions can be requested.

If my accountant took a month to do my taxes (based on my situation) I would find a new accountant.

My wife and I have numerous income sources ranging from 1099 to LLC, C-Corp, commercial real estate, etc. We also have a dependent daughter in college, and all kinds of stuff that makes my head spin. I usually have a 10 o'clock appointment at my tax lady's office and usually I'm out of there around 1 or 1:30.
