BHoffman Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Her dad just passed away. She got a divorce in 2015. Divorce agreement says Ex gets to claim the kid in 2015. She is self employed and is going to qualify for a fat EITC. Kid lives with her. I just don't have any urge at all to ever prepare any return with Sch C and EITC. She'll have to paper file because Ex is going to win the race to efile. She can't pay me more than $80 to prepare the return much less any fee to deal with the bloody aftermath. So, I sent an email and said I wasn't going to do her return this year and I'm sorry. I am sorry for her, but this drama is too much.

Yardley CPA Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just wondering, are you not preparing the return because of the drama or potential drama, or because of the EITC/Schedule C issue? Does the fee of only $80 play into it at all? My questions are sincere, I'm not questioning your motive, just trying to understand it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
