📝 F.I. Tax Solutions – Client Acknowledgment & Engagement Agreement
Thank you for choosing F.I. Tax Solutions to prepare your tax return. Please carefully review the following terms. By signing this form, you agree to all policies outlined below.
Tax Return Preparation
We prepare your tax returns based solely on the information you provide. You are responsible for keeping copies of all records used to prepare your return. We may retain scanned copies for up to three years. We use professional judgment to resolve unclear tax issues but cannot guarantee the outcome of any positions taken on your return.
Scope of Services & Fees
Our services cover annual income tax preparation. Additional services (e.g., payroll, sales tax, audits, or representation) are billed separately. Fees are due upon completion of your return. Returns, forms, or tax documents will not be released until fees are paid in full. If fees remain unpaid, we may pursue legal action—including small claims or civil court—to recover balances and associated legal costs.
Refund Offset & Loan Repayment
If your tax refund is offset, seized, delayed, or reduced by the IRS, state agencies, or other entities, you remain responsible for all preparation fees and any loan/advance amounts issued by F.I. Tax Solutions. These amounts must be paid directly to us regardless of whether you receive your refund.
Defamation of Character
Any false, slanderous, or defamatory statements made—verbally, in writing, or online—about F.I. Tax Solutions, its affiliates, or representatives will result in legal action of $5,000 or more, depending on damages. This includes social media posts, online reviews, or any public statements intended to harm our reputation.
Privacy & Identity Protection
We take your privacy seriously and will never sell or disclose your information to outside parties. We may use limited information internally for communication (e.g., holiday cards or newsletters). To combat identity theft, we may request documents (such as government IDs, Social Security cards, or birth certificates) to verify your identity and that of any dependents.
Correspondence & Additional Work
If you receive IRS or state correspondence related to a return we prepared, we will handle up to 120 minutes of response time at no cost. Additional time will be billed at our hourly rate. Audit representation is not included unless you opt into our Audit Maintenance Protection program.
