Your clients do not receive invoices from the IRS for their required estimates and since they're due quarterly instead of monthly, forgotten payments have been a tremendous problem for both accounting firms and their clients for several decades. Clients continually forget to make their estimated payments or make them late and they also forget to let their tax preparer know that an estimate was missed or late. This generates tax penalties for the clients who will typically forward the notice to their CPA for either an explanation or an attempt to get the penalty abated. The volume of IRS penalty notices has increased more than 670% during the last 10 years to over 200 million notices because the IRS has determined that mailing millions of computerized tax notices has a much higher cost-benefit return than performing thousands of desk audits. However, the overwhelming volume of computer-generated tax notices has become a tremendous problem and a major source of frustration for tax preparers. Industry estimates are that 70% of the time spent on client tax notices is unbilled because the client often assumes their tax preparer is at fault and many CPA's prefer to just write off the time rather than spend more time explaining the additional billing to the client.
