Would the exact seconds include to time to select the worksheet and click the stop timer box?

And what if you were to doublecheck to see if the direct deposit box was checked or not, and it was already checked?  Is that part of tax preparation or just the preparer unsure if he/she already selected it?   Would it include printing the return?  Uploading the return to a cloud-based server?  Saving the return?  Updating the client status?

When does a return really get finished!!  A few returns may seem like indigestible meals that never quite go away.
