Tax Return Preparation

We will prepare your tax return based on the information you provide. If your return is audited, you will be responsible for verifying the reported items. Please review the return carefully before signing to ensure the information is correct. Unless otherwise stated, the services for preparing your return do not include auditing, review, or any other form of verification or assurance.

Taxpayer Responsibilities
You agree to provide us with all income and deductible expense information. If you receive additional information after we commence work on your return, you will contact us immediately to ensure that your completed tax returns contain all relevant information. You affirm that all expenses or other deduction amounts are accurate and that you have all required supporting written records. In some cases, we may ask to review your documentation. You must be able to provide written records of all items included on your return if audited by either the IRS or state tax authority. We can provide guidance on what evidence is acceptable.

Before signing, carefully review the return to ensure the information is correct. Fees must be paid before your tax return is delivered to you or filed on your behalf. If you terminate this engagement before completion, you agree to pay a fee for work completed. A retainer is required for the preparation of late returns.

It is advisable to keep a copy of your tax return and any related tax documents. A fee may be assessed if you request a copy in the future.

By signing below, you acknowledge reading, understanding, and accepting your obligations and responsibilities.

For a joint return, both taxpayers must sign.

To be eligible for the Head of Household (HOH) credit, please provide either a lease agreement or a recent utility bill (Electric, Gas or water bill). We require the Social Security card, for each dependent or taxpayer, and/or birth certificate. 

For all taxpayers: Before signing, please ensure that you submit a copy of your Social Security card and birth certificate.

Payment of Tax Refund Disbursement

Consent for Payment
We value our relationship with our clients. We are in the business to provide you with the best service possible. We want to remind you that you are being provided a service and not a tax refund. You as a taxpayer have the option to pay your tax preparation fees by: cash, money order, credit card, electronic payment, or directly from your refund.

If you choose to have the tax preparation fees taken from your refund and your taxes are intercepted, YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAX PREPARATION FEES! By signing your return, you are agreeing to pay the tax preparation fees regardless of if your refund is released or not.

Upon our notification of your refund being intercepted, we will send you an invoice for payment. If payment is not received within 30 days of the invoice then we will proceed with ACH processing or collections if no bank account is held by the client.

 

NOTE: The Department of Treasury’s Financial Management Services (FMS) can offset ANY UNPAID federal or government debt against your refund WITHOUT prior notice.

Most commonly, the offset is taken for: Past due child support, Debts owed to a federal/state agency, Unemployment debts owed to state, and/or past due federal student loans.
