Got a call this morning. I haven't filed my personal or corporate taxes since 2004. I'd like to get it done within the week. How much would you charge?
My reply was - how about nothing as I am unable to take this on.
My assistant said I should have done my Dr. Evil's voice and said "one million dollars". That's for those of you old enough to remember Austin Powers.

I don't remember who it was, but someone posted the other day saying they lost a client to a "tax preparer" that was going to charge $15 to prepare their return. Sounds like a 16 year return bundle and a $15 return preparer would be a good match. Maybe their stars will align and find each other. Seriously though, someone is clueless enough to call up a professional tax preparer the last week of March and expect them take on a project like that and have it done in a week? Luckily they called - I'm guessing there would have been some strong urges to strangle the idiot for asking something so stupid.

How about "The Fee (to be paid before starting) will be enough for me to retire now."
