We will prepare your Federal and State Income Tax Return for the year specified above. We will not verify all of the data you submit; however, we will ask you to clarify or substantiate some of the information. We will be available to assist and guide you in gathering the necessary information by furnishing you with questionnaires and worksheets, and by answering your questions. It is your responsibility to provide all the information necessary to complete your tax return. You need to retain all documents and records to substantiate the items of income and expenses claimed on your tax return. Since you have the final responsibility for the information on your tax return, it is highly recommended that you review your return carefully before signing it. We will perform bookkeeping services only as requested by you, for an additional fee which will depend if this request is during tax season or off season. Our work will not include procedures to find defalcations or other irregularities. Accordingly, our engagement should not be relied upon to disclose errors, fraud, or other illegal acts. We will, of course, inform you of any material errors, fraud, or other illegal acts we discover. Should we encounter instances of unclear tax law, or of potential conflicts in the interpretation of the law, we will outline the reasonable courses of action and the risks and consequences of each. We will ultimately adopt the alternative you select. We will retain our work papers and a copy of your tax return for seven years. All of your original records will be returned to you with your tax return. If you should need additional copies of your tax return, we will provide that directly to you for an additional fee ($35). Fees for our services are based on forms; you may request an estimate at the time of your appointment. Prepared returns will not be released or electronically filed without full payment. Our engagement ends when you have signed your return and it has been accepted by e-file or mailed to the IRS; or one year after this engagement is signed whichever comes first. In case you decide you do not require our services once we have your tax return is completed but not signed, a fee of $150 will be incurred for our services, If tax return has been signed then the total of tax preparation fee is not refundable.All returns are subject to review by taxing authorities.
