Yes, he already mailed the check for 2013 error to the address on the Notice. That was job one. Thanks, Jack, for the advice on how to charge, you know I love you.
Since he's a new client, and the kind of client I REALLY love to get, there will be no scolding. Only love, or the appearance of same. He was very well organized, just late. I like November work. They moved here from a higher cost of living state, had an error on previous EA-prepared 2013 return, has pension, SS, investments.
I just matched the 2013 fee, and after the $5 poke from ATX, I'm still $45 ahead of what we charge in Hickville, TN. We're all happy, happy, happy.
