Dear Tax Client:
Thank you for selecting Securable Services Inc. to assist you with your tax matters. This letter confirms the terms of our professional engagement and outlines the scope and nature of the services we will provide.
Scope of Services
We will prepare your federal, state, and local income tax returns for the tax year(s) you have requested, based on information you provide. While we may request clarification on certain items, we will not audit, verify, or independently authenticate the data you submit. We will provide questionnaires and worksheets as needed to assist you in gathering the required information. Any accounting or bookkeeping services rendered will be limited to those necessary for the preparation of your tax returns.
Client Responsibilities
You are responsible for providing complete, accurate, and timely information required for the preparation of your returns. You should retain all supporting documentation, including receipts, invoices, canceled checks, and other records that substantiate your reported income and deductions, as these may be necessary to demonstrate the accuracy and completeness of your returns to taxing authorities. As the taxpayer, you remain ultimately responsible for the content of your returns and should carefully review them before signing.
Professional Standards and Limitations
Our engagement does not include procedures designed to detect fraud, defalcations, or other irregularities. We will apply our professional judgment when addressing unclear areas of tax law or resolving conflicts between various interpretations. Please be aware that tax law imposes penalties for the understatement of tax liability. For detailed information regarding penalties, please visit www.irs.gov.
Audit and Representation
Your returns may be selected for examination by taxing authorities. Should this occur, any proposed adjustments are subject to your right to appeal. We will be available to discuss representative options with you separately should such a situation arise.
Records Retention
We will retain copies of your records and our work papers for a period of five years from the completion of services. After three years, these materials will be destroyed in accordance with our document retention policy.
Acknowledgment
Please sign to confirm that you understand and accept these engagement terms. We appreciate the confidence you have in Securable Services Inc. and look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,
Rashanna Marbury
CEO & Founder
