It appears that I am with the majority in keeping my file
copies by clien rather than yeart. However, I have another
procedure that everyone tells me is wrong.

My practice started as a 'kitchen table' operation. It was
part time and I had no employees. Having never been a file
clerk, I filed returns in a way that made sense to me. When
putting a file copy in the manilla folder I place it with
the left side of the page up. I had thought that I did this
because the name and the type of return would be easier to
see without actually taking the return out of the folder.

About 20 years ago as my practice was growing I started
hiring part time help. I have been told ever since that my
system was backwards (i.e. the left side of the copy should
be at the bottom of the folder - not the top). I was also
told that I did it my way because I am left handed.

BTW, I will not change 'my way'. I even made a sign that
said: "There is a right way, a wrong way, and my way. - Here
we do it MY WAY.
