INDIVIDUAL/ SCH C INTAKE FORM

Start Your Tax Preparation with MKB Financial Group

This secure intake is the first step to begin your tax preparation with MKB Financial Group. We collect the basics needed to open your file, verify filing requirements, and confirm the correct next steps.
This secure intake form is the first step in your tax preparation process with MKB Financial Group.

We collect identity, income, deductions, and business activity information to determine filing requirements, compliance considerations, and appropriate next steps.

Submission of this form does not guarantee service or establish a tax preparer-client relationship. All submissions are reviewed for completeness, compliance risk, and service eligibility. If approved, you will receive instructions for next steps, which may include payment to begin preparation and/or scheduling a review call.

Clients are responsible for providing complete, accurate, and truthful information. Tax preparation is based solely on the information and documents you submit. Missing, inconsistent, or unverifiable information may delay processing or result in denial of service.

No tax advice is provided, and no return preparation or filing will begin until engagement is confirmed and any required payments are received.

We serve clients virtually nationwide. Certain states (CA, OR, MD, NY, CT, NV) have additional state-level requirements for paid tax preparation. When applicable, we will coordinate with a licensed partner or provide assistance-only services (client files independently). This will be confirmed before any work begins.

For your protection, please do not email sensitive personal or financial documents. Secure upload instructions will be provided if your intake is approved.

If you claim a dependent, the IRS may require proof of financial responsibility and where the child lived. Keep records such as medical/school records, a lease listing the child, or government benefit letters that show names and addresses.
TIEBREAKER RULES: Please read below and check this box acknowledging you understand the rules to claiming a dependent for EIC and CTC.
1. If only one of the persons is the child’s parent, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parent.
2. if the parents do not file a joint return together but both parents claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child lived with for the longer period of time during the year.
3. If the child lived with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for the year.
4. If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for the year.
5. If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no parent does claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for the year, but only if that person’s AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any of the child’s parents who can claim the child.

Combined Refund & Bank Product Disclosures

The IRS can send your refund by direct deposit or check, usually within 21 days after IRS acceptance. There’s no government fee for this.

Refund Transfer (RT): Not a loan. If you choose RT, our fee wI'll come out of your refund. You won’t get funds faster than IRS direct deposit. Bank fees apply. Disbursement: direct deposit, check, or prepaid card (if available).

Refund Advance (RA): This is a loan, not your refund and may include interest. If approved by the bank, it’s repaid from your refund(s). If refunds aren’t sufficient, you owe no additional payment. Approval isn’t guaranteed. Available only during specific dates each season.

e‑Bonus: Same as Refund Transfer with an incentive option. We will show all fees and your estimated net refund before you agree.

Pay‑per‑Return (PPR): Low‑cost Refund Transfer where the RT fee is paid by us (the ERO), not by you. We’ll show your estimated net refund before you agree.

Approval note: Approval decisions are made by the partner bank. We verify your information for accuracy but do not control approvals.
I acknowledge that I have read and understand the Refund & Bank Product disclosures above.I acknowledge that any bank account listed will also be used to pay any unpaid balance to MKB Financial Group in the event your refund is offset or intercepted for any reason.
