no more of this:
a written transcript of today's funnest client so far...this would be confidential, had i actually filed this piece of crap...or taken any information other than the following
_________________________________________
me: so, you made 2k this year?
client: yes
me: and you're claiming this child?
client: yes
me: okaaay, so, you're relation to this child?
client: cousin
me: so, cousin it is, okay so you can't get EIC for a cousin
client: wait, it's my stepchild
me: stepchild? but you just said it's your cousin...
client: well it's my stepchild
me: then why did you say cousin?
client: because i meant stepchild, look just put it on there, people do it all the time
me: people may do it all the time, but i can't because it's illegal
client: well they come up here and do it
me: well then tell me who they are so i can report them for fraud, because i'm not about to fill out a fraudelent return.
(short pause)
client: well, it's my stepchild, common law marriage.
me: okay
me: 2 things then, first, are you filing seperate from your husband or with him? i only see your w-2's?
client: seperate
me: then you still don't get eic.
client: then together, he didn't make no money
me: then there's the other thing, you supported the both of you and a child on 2k?
me: ma'am, i'm a parent, here's a picture of my girl. i'm not even the primary and i pay frickin 2k on diapers
client: well they do it all the time
me: they do, but i don't.
client: well it's my step child, common law marriage
me: ma'am, louisiana isn't even a common law state. you have to have a certificate. if you get common law married in another state and come here, then they'll recognize it, but if you just shack up here, nope.
client: well we did it when i was in houston..
me: okay, common law rules for louisiana require you be that way for 7 years, you're 23....so you were common law married when you were 16?
client: they do it all the time.
me: well i'm not. it's illegal, and i'm not going down on this one.
client: but it's my stepchild
me (getting pissed by now): it's your stepchild? you've already told me it's your cousin, now you're telling me it's your stepchild, then you're married, but then you're not. it's clear that you only want to file this return to get the earned income tax credit. i'm not filing this return, this office isn't filing this return.
and in the event this return does get filed anywhere near me with my knowledge of this return as it is...i will have to report you for fraud.
client: well i'm leaving
me: i'm sorry we can't file your return, and you have a nice day.
