I earlier had posted a question about my CPA charging me $450 to do my taxes. Price was not discussed beforehand because my parents were paying for it in the past, so it was not a concern of mine. This past year I got the bill for $450 from the CPA stating that I have to pay it this year because my parents won't because we are not on speaking terms. I emailed him back saying $450 was way too much for a single w2 filer, and I offered him $200. He says the $450 stands because he did 5.5 hours of work, and that he "knows more lawyers than I do people". Do you think he would actually take me to court for this amount? If he does, would I wind up spending more defending myself in court? What should I do here? I feel like I'm getting totally ripped off!! Just to add to this, I never signed anything up front saying that I agreed to this price. Some of you are saying just pay him and chalk it up to experience, but does he really have a case if I didn't sign anything agreeing to the price?
