FILING AUTHORIZATION
Before we file anything, you’ll always have the final say.
We’ll send you a copy of your completed return to review and approve. Once you’ve given us the green light (either with a signature or written approval), we’ll go ahead and e-file your return with the IRS and/or your state(s).
By signing this engagement letter, you’re confirming that:
You understand it’s your return and you’ve reviewed everything to the best of your ability.
You give us permission to file your return electronically after your approval.
If you're getting a refund, you’ve chosen how you want to receive it (direct deposit, refund advance, etc.).
Important Note About Non-Filing:
If you decide not to move forward with filing after we’ve completed the return, an abandonment fee of $150 will be due immediately. This fee will be automatically drafted (ACH) from the bank account listed on your intake form. By signing this engagement, you agree to this charge and authorize us to collect the fee if you abandon the filing.
We don’t file anything without your approval. Your return, your rules—but our time still matters.
FEES & PAYMENTS TERMS
We believe in being upfront—no surprises when it comes to your money. Here’s how our pricing works:
- Your tax prep fees covers your federal return and state(s) return and it is calculated based upon any forms, schedules, or other multi-state filings that you may have.
- Bank products, refund advances, and any third-party services may also have separate fees, which will be disclosed to you before you choose those options.
- If you decide to pay your prep fee out of your refund, additional fees for that convenience will apply.
Payment Options:
- You can pay upfront via card, Cash App, or other accepted methods, or
- Choose to have fees deducted from your refund (bank product clients only).
No Refunds:
Once services are completed, no refunds will be issued—even if you choose not to file or if your refund is smaller than expected. You're paying for our time, experience, and the work already performed. We reserve the right to withhold e-filing or release of any documents until your balance is paid in full.
Let’s make sure it’s fair, fast, and worth every penny. We’ll always do our best to maximize your refund—or minimize what you owe—based on the info you give us. But let’s be real for a second:
- We can’t guarantee a specific refund amount, tax credit, or outcome.
- Your final refund or balance due depends on IRS and state calculations, and the details you provide.
- We’re not responsible for delays caused by the IRS, your bank, or third-party products (like refund advances or direct deposit timelines).
- Once we’ve prepared your return—even if you decide not to file—it’s considered a completed service. That means no refunds for prep fees, time spent, or add-on services.
We don’t promise magic—but we do promise to work hard, stay honest, and keep your best interest at the center of everything we do.
RECORD RETENTION POLICY
We keep copies of your tax return and related documents we prepare for our own records—but you should always keep your originals.
Here's what you need to know:
- We’ll retain a copy of your final return and any documents we’re required to keep for three (3) years.
- It’s your responsibility to keep your original documents (like W-2s, 1099s, receipts, bank statements, and any proof of deductions or credits) in a safe place. The IRS may request them later.
- If you lose your return and need a copy after the season, we’ll gladly resend it—just submit a request, and we may charge a $25 document retrieval fee.
- We’ll handle the prep—but staying organized and audit-ready starts with you.
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
We hope we won’t need this section—but just in case, let’s talk about how either of us can part ways if needed.
You can choose to end this agreement at any time before your return is filed—just let us know in writing. If work has already started, fees for time spent and services completed will still be due.
We also reserve the right to end our working relationship if:
- You don’t respond or provide documents within a reasonable time
- You’re found to have submitted false or misleading information
- Communication becomes disrespectful or abusive
- We believe continuing the engagement could compromise our ethics or credentials
If this agreement is ended for any reason, you’ll still be responsible for any fees owed for completed work, and the abandonment fee may apply if the return was finished but not filed.
We’re here to help—not to chase people down or compromise our standards.
