My client is the nonprofit organization. I got it through my individual tax client who is a consultant to the organization.
I am currently engaged to do the nonprofit returns. My "tax client" consultant will ask me accounting questions as well as tax situation that the nonprofit faces. The most recent one is about donation.
I only charge a fix fee to do the nonprofit returns and feel that I should charge the consultant or the nonprofit for the "quick questions" that they have. I see this will keep coming if I continue to be engaged to do their tax returns. i feel that I have to lay down some "rules" before the unbilled time gets too big.
How would you deal with this type of "quick questions"? It does add up time and I do need to research it a bit to give "quick answers".
