Mr. Brown, I have some experience dealing with SR and ED. I worked in the finance department for a software company many years ago. We dealt with Deloitte, and they were great to work with, but it was surprising to me when I got there that so much work had to go into it. I'm not criticizing Deloitte, but there were many fees for helping with this process and the application and everything else.
I know that it's good for all the accounting firms coast to coast, but if you were to look at it a different way, shouldn't it be a little easier for companies to file?
