An attorney refered me a client, so that I can review his tax return and to see if one of the dependents really qualified as a dependent because of his situtation. Well I interviewed the client over the phone and right away he asked me how much I'm going to charge him, because he is not working and does not have any money. So I told him it would be half of what I regulary charge, but I needed to see his return first before I notified the attorney regarding the 1 dependent in question. What a mistake, I have spent so much time on this case, calling him, calling the attorney and the IRS to verify some things. What has my blood boiling is when it was time to pay for my services, he had more the $300 in his pocket + plus another $200,000 in his bank account (I calculated based on his interest he is receiving using a 1%), I am going to stick to him now, because I need to amend 3 years to remove that one dependent, sorry for the rant, but I just dislike people like, no wonder he has all that money in the bank.

And, imagine how much he's paying his lawyer! I really hate it when then call me with a legal question and admit it's because they'd have to pay their lawyer if they called him.

>>because he is not working <<

To which you must reply that you ARE working.
