Got in a tif with a client.
He had some weird stuff on 2021 return and the k-1 he got wasn't fully accurate
and he misconstrued whether he bought into a partnership or was just an initial investor.
Nevertheless, had to amend the 2021 federal.....and we didn't have one of the state k-1's
for misc reason....i eventually got it for us....and just filed the 2021 state return 3 weeks ago.
Needless to say, i billed this guy for 2021 thru quickbooks.
He was supposed to pay $1,250 within a week and he didn't
So i billed him a 2nd time, and then a 3rd......once each week.
Then i sent him a very modestly abrupt email saying i discounted the fee,
that it should only take him a minute to click a button to pay it,
that i spent alot of time on this return
and that for a guy who makes 2 mill per year i shouldn't have to send 3 payment requests.
He gives some bs story.
He doesn't realize I can see thru quickbooks that he's looked at the bill 10x..literally.
So now he wants a new accountant and for me to send my 2022 work....i've prepared extensions and entered about 50% of his info.
And he wants his old returns as he is switching accountants..than he'll pay me the $1,250
Do you think i should request payment on the '22 work?
or
should i just sent him what my draft 1040 looks like so far and the extensions for free
