I got a new client, 2-1/2 years old. He, apparently, did some modeling and at the end of the year received a w-2 ($300.). Sure enough, they took out taxes, so a return had to be filed to get them back. I'm trying to think how much I should charge him. He didn't behave himself very well during the interview....

Wow. That raises all kinds of complicated issues. Are you going to do the parents' return also?
Could be a conflict of interest. How do you get consent from someone that young, in order to reveal to the parents what his gross income is?
Because when you do the parents' return, you need to know the child's gross income in order to determine whether he is their qualifying child...
In some third world countries, that amount of income might be more than the parents made.

Original Post Says $300.00
Signing the 8879 might be a problem. Maybe an "X". The think the parents thought they would just add it to their income.Originally posted by Koss View PostComment
