Like I said, I doubled my hourly rate.  For deranged clients like this one, I raise my rate until they either go away, or the size of the fee overcomes the PITA factor.  In this case, the fee was worth the grief; I will be paid at least $2500 for what would normally be a $1500 return.

 

None of this is meant to imply that the client isn’t an absolute nutbar.

I agree with Robert.   I am very clear about my deadlines to receive their info.  I have had only 1 client take their stuff elsewhere

On April 15th possibly, on October 15th I was out of the office by 5:30 and my clients new I wasn't going to stress over their procrastination. I even had one client forget I told them that there isn't a second extension and he called me yesterday to verify that his second extension got sent in. I had to exlpain again.

I had an M.D. client who was still faxing me information at 5:30PM on the 15^th.  Last mail pickup in town is 7PM.  Client had a $140K liability, and was risking late filing penalty of $7000 in order to try to squeeze out a few hundred more $ in travel expenses and office supplies.  They picked up their return at the curb of my office building at about 6:55.  I still don't know (and don't particularly care) if they got it postmarked in time.  I doubled my hourly rate on that one.

People are just plain CRAZY!!!!!!

This is a rant.

People who wait until the last minute.

Rant, rant, rant, rant, rant.

I guess that's all for now.
