Should a tax preparer respond to their clients’ IRS notices?

My client received a notice from the IRS requesting for copies of the W-2s on his amended return. I spent an hour on the phone with the IRS and faxed them a package with the supporting documentation. I also verified the amended return to confirm it was correct. The IRS hasn’t adjusted the balance due yet after a month (no surprise), and the client, who has a history of being rude (I’ve already told him I won’t prepare future returns), keeps bugging me to contact the IRS. Do I have the obligation from a professional and reputational standpoint to keep reaching out to the IRS?

Is this too cheap?

I took on a client last year who was associated with another client. She made it seem like the work would take an hour so I quoted $100 and she asked for $75. Next thing I know she gives me two QuickBooks accounts for her and her husband and then after a few months they start adding multiple businesses to each account and have me run payroll on a different platform. Then, the husband will call me randomly. so, basically I’m doing bookkeeping for two companies plus payroll for $75 per month total.

A week off Klonopin!

I took between .5mg to 1mg of Klonopin for 8 years before my NP decided not give me anymore. I tapered off over the last two months and I haven’t taken a single pill for a week now. I barely have any symptoms except for some irritation. However, during my taper I did have some rough nights where I could barely sleep because my head felt so messed up. I also had some days where I was so angry I could punch a hole in the wall. I hope the symptoms are manageable from now on. I will only take Klonopin in the future if I have a panic attack.

Ex Narc texted me this weekend after a year of no contact and asked me to get coffee

He was visiting my city and texted me out of the blue. I didn’t even have his number saved anymore. I was shocked as I thought I gave him a narcissistic injury after i called him a narcissist approximately 13 months ago. I blocked him on all socials. He acted all nonchalant and said he was by my office and office and wanted to see me when he was in town. The heck?? I know he has plenty of friends in Chicago to keep entertained over the weekend. I have no clue if he missed the access to me or genuinely missed ME. Needless to say, I was out of town and told him I couldn’t meet.

My ex texted me today after a year of no contact

He is visiting my city and texted me to see if I wanted to get coffee. I was caught off guard, especially since things didn’t end the best and I blocked him on socials. I didn’t block his number but I deleted his contact. It’s so strange since he knows a lot of other people in my city. I did respond but I just said sorry I couldn’t because I’m not in town.

This proves that a lot of them DO come back! Don’t engage unless you want to feel anxious and hurt again.

Klonopin head pressure

I’m coming off Klonopin and I’m down 3/4 from my original dose of 0.5mg. The head pressure has been horrible the last couple of days. So bad that it took me 2 hours to fall asleep last night. Does anyone have any tips to reduce the pressure (I feel a bit dizzy too)? I tried magnesium and that didn’t help much.

Will I get fired for social media? [IL]

Okay, so long story short I am gay myself but get annoyed at attention seekers on social media. Someone posted a reel how being gay is illegal in 65 countries and clearly made the post focused on himself. I posted a GIF that said victim card. A week later someone commented my full name and company name and asked if it represented my company’s values. I deleted the comment right away. It was an obvious troll account without a picture that commented. I cannot find my company’s social media policy but I’m sure it is consistent with other publicly traded companies. Obviously, I’ll be more careful and not post things that can come off offensive on social media again.

Loud Knock during the afternoon?

I’m working at home and someone knocked loudly (like four or five knocks total). I didn’t answer because it scared the crap out of me. There was a car out in the street and it looked like there was someone in the car. It’s nice outside and the midterms are coming up. However, does this sound like it could be the FBI or local police? They didn’t leave any card at my door and no one tried to call me.

I got startled and hid in my closet for ten minutes and I returned to my window and noticed the car was gone. What gives?

How common is the fee for filing form 5471 late?

Long story short I have two companies (let’s call them company A and B). Company A owns company B. I filed just one consolidated Form 5471 under company A. However, in doing more research it sounds like I need to file one for A and B.

My client didn’t file 1099s and I’m getting blamed now

My client didn’t file 1099s and never asked me to file them. He makes all the vendor payments and he also never sent me W9s. My engagement letter says we will only file them if requested. Am I liable for the possible penalties?

Nurse Practitioner cut my klonopin script in half without talking to me beforehand

I’ve been taking .5mg of Klonopin daily for the last five years. I suffer from panic attacks and generalized anxiety disorder. I understand that it’s not good to take daily but I cannot believe she cut my supply in half without talking to me beforehand. All I received was a message on my patient portal.

Isn’t a 50% cut really extreme? I understand it’s her license but it would have been nice to speak to me beforehand. I’m definitely finding a new doctor after this.
