Clients are fun

[Roberts]

Client calls Sunday and asks when I'll be in the office.

M-F from 7-4pm each day at minimum. Sometimes later but I routinely have appointments outside the office in the evening.

He'll be in between 12-1 on Monday. Easy stuff because he's almost completely retired now.

He calls on Tuesday - just couldn't make it but he'll be in tomorrow and I repeat my hours.

Calls Thursday at 4:45pm and wants to know why I'm not in my office.

Calls today - he can't make it today because he works from noon-6pm. I mention I was in the office at 7am but he forgot about that.

What hours do I have on Sunday?

 

It's an ultra simple return, he's going to owe about $1k because he doesn't withhold taxes on his pension, he'll be completely shocked (again) that he owes and he'll have no clue how he's going to come up with the money on such short notice. Can he make payments?

I wondered where he went when I told him not to come here unless he's willing to pay me to prepare an extension.

Apparently he moved to MO.

Gee, I thought this was the guy who wandered in to OUR office yesterday!

My clients are all calling to see if I forgot to let them know their taxes are ready,  After all, they brought their stuff in a week ago.

Did you apologize profusely and promise to work harder ?

Remember that conversation we had about extensions? No? Well, I'll upload copies of your extensions next week to jog your memory.
