Thank you for choosing De Novo Tax and Advisors (“Firm”) to assist you with your taxes. This agreement confirms the terms of our engagement with you and outlines the nature and extent of the services we will provide. Any specific services requested by you not provided for in this engagement agreement (“Agreement”) may require an additional engagement agreement to cover such requested services. Services that are not specifically identified and defined in this Agreement will not be performed by the
Firm. 

Preparation of Tax Returns
We will prepare your Federal, State and Local income tax returns. In preparing your returns, we may use in-house or external processing capabilities with tax preparers being both on site and in remote locations. Secure data transmission processes are in place for document transfers. The Firm uses Drake Software, a nationally recognized tax preparation software, to prepare and electronically file each of your returns.

The Firm will depend on you to provide the tax information necessary to prepare a complete and accurate tax return(s). We may ask you to clarify or provide additional information necessary to complete a tax return, but we will not audit or otherwise verify the data that you submit. If you supply
incomplete or incorrect data, it may delay the preparation of your return or cause your return to be prepared incorrectly. Submission of incorrect or incomplete data used to prepare your return is solely your responsibility and any penalties or interest associated with the errors are your responsibility. As an aid to collecting the information for your return, the Firm will provide you with a questionnaire/organizer or other document requesting specific information. Once completed and attached to the other data, you may submit the information for return preparation. Failure to fully complete the
questionnaire and supply required data may extend the time required to complete the return and subsequently the fee associated with the return preparation.

The Firm will perform accounting services only to the extent that they are needed to prepare your returns. Clients are expected to provide any raw data such as medical receipts, auto receipts, etc. in summary form to facilitate the time required to organize such data. The Firm’s work will never entail
any procedures to investigate defalcations or other irregularities and you should never rely on our procedures to disclose errors, fraud, or other illegal acts. However, if such errors or irregularities should surface in the ordinary course of preparing your return, we will bring it to your attention.

The Firm must use its professional judgment in resolving questions where the tax law is unclear or where there may be conflicting interpretations of the law. To avoid penalties, we will explain the possible positions, and we will adopt whatever position you request if it is consistent with relevant tax
authority and professional standards. If estimated tax payment vouchers are provided to you for the following tax year, it is your responsibility to make the required payments when required. If payments are not made, all penalties and interest for not making such payments in timely manner are your sole responsibility.

To ensure that your return is filed by the filing due date, all tax information, documentation, and information must be in our offices by March 1st. Information received after that date will not guarantee that your return will be filed in a timely manner and may require the filing of a request for automatic extension. If you know that you will be required to file an extension, the process can be expedited by contacting our office and requesting the extension as soon as possible. Notification of your desire to file an extension is your responsibility and our firm will not be responsible for contacting you to determine if you need to file an extension. Extensions are not automatic and require the client to authorize such filing. As a reminder, an extension provides 6 months of additional time to prepare and file the return. However, it is NOT an extension of time for payment of tax purposes. If an extension is applied for and tax is estimated to be due, it is your responsibility to ensure that any such tax is paid with the extension.

Brokerage, Investment Advisory, Virtual Currency Statements
If you provide the firm with copies of brokerage, investment advisor or cryptocurrency tax statements, we will use the information solely for the purposes of completing your tax return(s). We will rely on the accuracy of the information provided in the statements and will not undertake any action to verify this information. We will not monitor transactions, investment activity, provide investment advice, or msupervise the actions of the entity or individuals entering transactions or investment activities on your behalf. We recommend that you receive and carefully review all statements upon receipt and direct any questions regarding account activity to your banker, broker, or investment advisor.

The I.R.S. considers virtual currency (e.g., Bitcoin) as property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, any transactions in, or transactions that use virtual currency are subject to the same general tax principles that apply to other property transactions.

If you had virtual currency activity during the tax year, you may be subject to tax consequences associated with such transactions and may have additional reporting obligations. You agree to provide us with complete and accurate information regarding any transactions in, or transactions that have used virtual currency during the applicable tax year.

Federally Authorized Practitioner – Client Privilege

Internal Revenue Code §7525 Confidentiality Privileges Related to Taxpayer Communication, provides a limited confidentiality privilege applying to the tax advice embodied in taxpayer communications with federally authorized tax practitioners in certain limited situations.

This privilege is limited in several important respects. For example, the privilege may not apply to your records, state tax issues, state tax proceedings, private civil litigation, proceeding, or criminal proceedings.

While we will cooperate with you with respect to the privilege, asserting the privilege is your responsibility. Inadvertent disclosure of otherwise privileged information may result in a waiver of the privilege. Please contact the Firm immediately if you have any questions or need further information about this federally authorized practitioner-client privilege.

Other Client and Firm Responsibilities

It is your responsibility to provide complete tax information to us in a timely manner so that we can prepare your tax return in time for you to file it by the due dates. You also have the final responsibility for the tax returns and, therefore, once you have received them, you should carefully review the returns to determine that there are no omissions or misstatements before signing them and submitting them to the tax authorities or authorizing e-filing of the returns.

The Firm will use its best judgement to resolve questions in your favor where a tax law is unclear, if we have a reasonable belief that there is substantial authority for doing so. If there are conflicting interpretations of the law, we will explain the possible positions that may be taken on your return. We will follow the position you request, provided it is consistent with our understanding of the tax reference materials. Tax reference materials include, but are not limited to, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), tax regulations, Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures, Private Letter Ruling, court cases, and similar state and local guidance. We assume no liability, and you hereby release us from any liability including but not limited to, additional tax penalties, interest, and related professional fees.

If the tax returns prepared in connection with this engagement are filed using the married filing jointly filing status, both spouses are deemed to be clients of the firm under the terms of this Agreement. Both spouses acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy from the other concerning our services in connection with this Agreement. We are at liberty to share with either of you, without prior consent of the other, documents and other information concerning the preparation of your tax returns. If this is not acceptable to either party, under the rules regarding conflicts of interest, the Firm may be required to divest itself of the preparation of either or both parties tax preparation. You must notify us immediately in writing as to your concerns, so that we can make the appropriate decision or recommendation as to preparation of the returns.

Not every interpretation of promulgated tax rules is straightforward and/or without uncertainty. Accordingly, we will use our professional judgment in preparing your returns. If a tax authority should later contest a position taken, or otherwise impose penalties and/ or interest for non-compliance with tax laws and regulations, there may be an assessment of additional tax plus interest and/or penalties. We assume no liability for any such additional assessments. Any items resolved against you by the examining agent are subject to certain rights of appeal. In the event of an examination, we may be available to represent you. Since the selection of your return for review or examination is beyond our control, our fee to prepare your returns do not include responding to inquiries or examinations by tax authorities. In the event we are required by law, government regulation, subpoena, or other legal process, to produce documents or testimony with respect to this Agreement, so long as we are not a party to the proceeding in which the information is sought, you agree to reimburse us for our professional time and expenses, as well as the fees and expenses of our counsel incurred in responding to such demands.
