What type of clients do you like to work with?

I like clients that know nothing, hand the forms over, and scram. Also like the smart clients who ask questions.

Not partial to the clients who think they are smarter than they are and have to know things like, "OMG, why did you put $500,000 on line 1 of 4562 and 2,000,000 on line 3???? OMG."

Also becoming increasingly irritated with clients who don't bring me everything first shot.

I just escaped to get fried pickles at Sonic and an ice cream cone at McDonalds. I am eating my feelings, and they taste great.

I just had a falafel.

The client I like:

Someone who was referred to me; new in the country; everyone in the family has social security numbers...and thinks I'm a wizard because he gets a refund. Oh yeah...this perfect client has 1 W-2...that's it. And then he refers me to all his friends with the same scenario!

Favorite Clients ; 1. Ones that are organized. 2. Ones that follow my letter and bring everything. 3. The older clients who pay their estimates and stay on top of things from a tax standpoint.

My all-time favorite, now deceased, had retired 5 different times. His job was to pay his estimates quarterly. My job was to make sure he never had to pay more than $100.00 on the 15th. Never batted an eye at my fees and always gave me a very nice tip for my services. The family lives all over the U.S., otherwise they'd still be clients. ;)
