I am always interested in seeing what other people are charging for tax prep, but I don't usually change my fees as a result of it. I live in a rural area, which has lost most of the manufacturing jobs that were once available and where construction jobs seem to be stalling out about now. It is not a good time to raise rates. But I don't try to be the cheapest place in town - I will leave that for the shops that are making their money from the RALs. I do try, however, to be the best in town and I think this board helps a lot with that. :)

If it were me, since I sign those 941's that I prepare them, I would prepare them for the quarters they were due for, tell the client that they screwed up, and write the IRS a letter begging them to waive the penalties this time since the client was new to this and thought that taxes were only due once a year (assuming that is true.) I would not knowingly falsify a 941 by saying the wages were paid in the fourth quarter if they were actually paid throughout the year. But maybe I misunderstood your question.

I agree with KC; I would only work with them if they agree to amend the prior years and come clean. If they are honest, they will - if not, I don't need the hassle of trying to keep dishonest clients from dragging me down with them.
