Average Cost for Tax Prep

As far as “a bad debt”, don’t worry about it, there is nothing she can do once she accepts your payment. Collection agency’s have no legal authority until they go to court and get a judgment. That will never happen as it will cost more for filing and legal fees. Also, a CPA is not going report you to a credit agency for basically the same reasons. The only thing she COULD have done was file a “theft of services” complaint, but that ship sailed when she took your payment.

I wouldn’t lose any sleep over this, as you did everything you should have. Actually, you even went overboard, but at least you won’t lose any sleep over it.

PS: I hope she got you a decent refund?
