The clients may be more willing to listen to you now that the major scandal of FTX bankruptcy is in the news. Unfortunately, at last report the price of bitcoin has risen because of it. A major selling point of crypto has always been that the government can't trace it or control it. Do you really want clients who find that appealing? On the other hand, many of my clients have some political beliefs that I find appalling, but sometimes close to the majority. I just fill out the forms, and hope they come to their senses.

I've been around long enough to have had many clients whose returns became more complicated than those I prepared for their parents, and then the grandkids turn out to be even more so. I give them a break on the price, for the first year or two, and generally it leads to a lasting, profitable relationship. If a 25-year-old still relies on Mom to bring me all her tax information, and I wouldn't recognize her if she walked in the door, I suggest finding a new preparer.
