    Always having to pay

    I'm sure many of you have heard the same story.

    Some clients ALWAYS have to pay...never get a refund. Client speaks up with an air of genius: "I don't want to let the gubbermint use my money interest free for a whole year, so I keep the money for myself." As if we should admire him for his financial prowess.

    Funny, I've never had a single one of these "genius" clients have any interest income to report. I believe the threshold for a bank to issue a 1099-INT is only $10.

    Go figure...

    Sounds like these are people that live beyond their means......that they can't save, even get $10 of interest from their bank.

      Not living beyond their means... they can pay a tax professional to do their taxes, and nothing was said about not paying the tax due.

      I don't judge my clients on things like this -- as long as they are willing to sign an accurate return, and pay my fee, when/how they decide to pay the tax is not for me to say. I'll give them advice if they ask, sure, but that's it.
