A Manhattan CPA firm (DDK & Co. LLC) has sued former baseball star Lenny Dykstra for refusing to pay its $111,097 bill for preparing his 2006 tax returns. Dykstra responded to press inquiries:
Did they actually think I would pay that much for a tax return? That’s insane. … I looked at [the bill]. I laughed. Somebody trying to charge $120,000 for a tax return and can’t even file it on time, they’ve got some problem. Now they’re going to get exposed. My attorney [Daniel Petrocelli], he said he thought it was a typo when he saw the bill.
The lawsuit claims that the $111,097 bill "is fair and reasonable and is in accordance with the terms and provisions of the [February 2007] retainer agreement." See New York Daily News coverage here and here. (Hat Tip: Jim Maule.)
