Whenever I run into a provider and he's with a girl, I always say "Your girl is lovely, Hubbel."
 
(just kidding)

I know nothing about doing my own taxes so I go to my CPA (who charges $275 for a simple tax return with no itemizations).  Anyhow, I had my appointment two weeks ago with him, and I owed* quite a bit more in fed taxes than I did the year before, even though nothing changed in my income. He explained to me that EVERYONE owed more this year due to a change in taxes in 2023, which not many people were aware of until they filed this year. As he said, "It snuck up on everyone - including him."  So it may not be you doing anything wrong - it's just the tax laws which have changed slightly.
 
*I might have said this before, but I will say it again. Years ago, when I was just starting out with my own business as a 'D/B/A', my CPA said it's always best to owe the feds money each April, rather than get a big refund. As he said, 'Why get a refund of a few thousand dollars ?  Why let the Feds use your extra thousands and then return it to you with no interest accumulated ? '  He said it's always best to owe them money - usually $200 or less is perfect (at least for my income).  So each year I owe - usually under $100.  Last year I owed $19.  This year - with the the tax laws changing as I mentioned - I owed $150.

I do the same thing.  I always adjust my withholdings early in the year so I owe something the following in April.  Make sure the amount you owe is less than $1K, or be sure you paid at least 90% of total taxes via withholdings, or be sure you paid at least 100% of the total taxes of the previous year.  Otherwise, you will have to pay a penalty.
I'm especially going to remember this next year, when the 2017 tax cuts expire and tax rates for everyone will increase back to 2016 levels, but more so for the low and middle income filers.

I'm convinced many young providers use it - many.  I don't care how fit and sexually active you are in your 20s and 30s - how can they maintain an erection all day / night with different clients when they have a full schedule ? Or if they are not sexually attracted to their client ? 

A recent study has confirmed the findings of earlier research which indicates people who regularly take erectile dysfunction medication—particularly Viagra—have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease.
Why the drugs appear to lessen the occurrence of Alzheimer’s is unknown. However, one theory is that the medication increases blood flow to all parts of the body, including the brain.
The results of the latest research appeared in Neurology. Scientists looked at the health records of 269,725 men in the UK. Aged over 40, the average age was 59.

I've only been stiffed once. It was a forum member, during one of the DC meetups. Both clients and providers warned me ahead of time that he was known to pull stunts, so I wasn't surprised when at the end of the session he claimed to have lost his wallet. He put on quite the act, trying to look panicked and all. "Where is my wallet? OMG, I've lost my wallet!!!" I just sat and watched his performance for a couple of minutes, then showed him the door. (For what it's worth, I don't believe he posts on this forum anymore, let alone attend any of the events)

Some of the escorts I have hired in the past who had crazy travel schedules worked for an airline; this is how they made extra money in their 'down time'.  I'm not saying this pertains to him  - just throwing my two cents in about travel schedules.

I think he's adorable. If he was a 'provider' he'd be making a lot of money from eldergays - they would love to spend an hour with him, getting a massage and more. He could make some serious money. 

I have a feeling his parents kick in his part of the rent - same with his two roomates.

According to an article in Fortune Magazine this week (sorry - it's paywalled),  there's a growing number of Gen Zers choosing vocational schools over college. They're learning to be plumbers, mechanics, electricians, etc - and jumping into these skilled careers where they can earn a six figure salary starting out.  Good for them. 

The Department of Motor Vehicles? I know they have been trying to improve the experience so people don't feel they have to stand in line forever -- but having available providers is above and beyond.

I don't get annoyed with jewelry (as I said in my OP) and find it sexy at times. The only thing that does bother me is when they leave their 'smartwatch' on, and constantly check their messages, etc. every five minutes. After a few wrist turns and reading their watch, I politely ask them to take it off (most do with apologies). 

I can't stand wen they keep their baseball caps on. I always ask them to take it off, and most won't - they say they're having a 'bad hair day'.  Really ? 

Are you planning on diagramming sentences with him…..or fucking?
