this question relates to unpaid fees.
I have a corporate client that has become very problematic, constantly arguing about owing taxes, my procedures to prepare books and related taxes.
My corporate client has a partner within that thinks he can get everything done for much less. I have terminated my engagement. I did not have an engagement letter.
My client owes outstanding fees. My client was informed by me that I will not sign and file the corporate return without first receiving the signed form 8879 and payment for all outstanding fees, which are reasonable and have a history of being paid in the past.
My client sent the signed form 8879 but no payment.
Do think I am obligated to sign and file the returns without full payment of outstanding fees as outlined in my letter to them?
