BLACK BART Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 Lady came by today; package in hand; we've been doing it for years (has retirement benefits, savings interest, farm rental, taxable social security, needs 1099). Says she's decided to do it herself (been looking around online I suspect), but she's going to let us e-file it for her (gosh; thanks a bunch). She did mention that she "might need a little advice" because "the forms don't seem to look like last year's." She was crushed when I said "We don't do that." Going to be crushed even further when I tell her the fee (up $50) isn't like last year's either. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mircpa Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Did she took some tax preparation classes recently. I am wondering what has changed for her this year given that you were doing taxes for past many years with so different kinds of income & deductions.

They’ll come back knocking at the door for help when they start receiving notices, I was once told by a former client that I charged too much and he was going to prepare them himself, I said fine, no problem. He did call me, however I was under extreme pressure during that time I was not able to assist him with the notice he received. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BART Posted January 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 She's already back - I've got the papers and will prepare as usual. Visiting relative from large metro area was "advising" her, but has departed and all is well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
