I had a long term client...but he wasn't happy with his 2010 return...so he said he was going elsewhere...paid me a consultation fee...and all was good.

What he didn't like was his refund...and let's just say..the return was on the verge of looking ridiculous. I refused to put down one more penny towards expenses.

Fast forward to yesterday. He sends me a letter from the IRS ...and in the e-mail says it's about 2010.

I look at it...and the letter clearly says 2012.

He sent me another e-mail today....says it's 2010....again the letter clearly states 2012.

I again respond...it's 2012!

He calls...just now...and says on page 2 it says 2010 .

I explain...I did not submit 2010. I did the return...you didn't like it...you went elsewhere.

I also explain...even if I did it....I can't help him until after 4/15....and that I doubt this was the first letter he received.

What I am sure happened ....he was audited for a few years...and now they are holding his refunds.

Ha ha ha.....

I ended our conversation explaining that I don't put junk on returns.

I just have to update this.

Yesterday this guy asked me to do his 2013 return ...and I said OK.

I told him that I would not itemize because he would be audited.

He sends me his 2 W-2s...and really straight forward...with nothing to itemize.

All day the wife has been emailing me...

1, We have 2 loans. Sorry...nothing to do with taxes.

2. We went to XXXXX 4 times. Sorry...nothing to do with taxes.

3. I had a baby this year. Sorry...no year of birth bonus.

4. We moved 5 miles. Sorry...it has to be 50 miles and for a new job

5. I gave $118 to my son's school. Sorry...you need $6000 more to itemize.

Finally...an email to her/husband ....I will gladly itemize, but you need to furnish me with a list that comes to at least $6000. In addition , since it will be audited for sure....make sure you have receipts.

I know neither of have job expenses....

Beating my head against the wall. :)
