this client who just walked out of my office had a 15 minute arguement and ended up crying after i told her i couldnt help any more and no, the gov't wont allow you act retro actively if she takes more withholding next year.
to sum it up quick.
1. she made 74,938.67
2. her Federal witholding was 174.36
3. her state witholding was 88.12
when i saw her W-2 i almost laughed in her face. took the return, did my best pushing where i could. she ended up owing 9134 to federal gov't, which oh yeah, has to be paid by next friday. the look in her eyes of just pure fear almost sent me into crying laughter. i never fought harder not to laugh. i wish i could have seen my face.
she proceeded to argue on for 15 minutes on why she shouldnt pay it, i told her i dont write the law i just interpret it, and apply it.
is it wrong that i took satisfaction that somehow a "stupid penalty" was enforced here?
