What did the attorney advise the client who was uncomfortable with making estimated quarterly tax payments?

  1. To ignore the criminal charges

  2. To consult a tax advisor

  3. To comply with the law

  4. To file for an extension

The correct answer is: To comply with the law

The most appropriate advice for a client who is uncomfortable with making estimated quarterly tax payments is to comply with the law. This guidance emphasizes the importance of adhering to tax regulations, which require individuals to make these payments to avoid underpayment penalties and potential legal issues. Compliance ensures that the client is meeting their tax obligations and is a fundamental principle of legal and financial responsibility. While consulting a tax advisor might provide additional information and strategies for managing tax payments, the primary directive in this case remains compliance with existing laws. Ignoring criminal charges, filing for an extension, or solely relying on more consulting may not address the underlying requirement to meet tax payment obligations. Therefore, advising the client to comply aligns with the proper legal practice and upholds the integrity of the client's financial affairs.
