I am missing the fight.
You explain to him the choices. The taxpreparer does not make the choice. He can call the 1099 preparer and question why it was reported that way and explain that he did not understand what his tax situation would be that way. Then you tell him he can prepare the return either by him paying the full SE tax or just paying what would have been owed on a W-2 if you would have been an employee for FICA/MEDI. He has already had the conversation with the EX and they know what he is going to do -the preparer does it. You get a little extra money for some additional time spent. Move on to your mnext return.
