Do they just not work?

Late taxes, quarterly taxes, early taxes… There’s always taxes, but yes a lot of the h&r block types only do tax prep for a few months and another job the rest of the year
other accountancy or financial planning work
Corporate taxes - at least in Canada, you can have a year end any day of the year.
And yes, some older tax preparers don’t work in summer/fall.
Same in the US
Some tax preparers are semi-retired folks who work just part of the year by choice.
Plot.
Technically taxes are due quarterly in the US, so they have plenty to do if they have business or self employed customers. My dad was a tax preparer and would file tons of extensions in April and finish them up until August. Then start on the next year.
