Tax Preparation Scope Of Work

Overview Of Scope

This letter is to confirm our understanding of the services to be rendered. We hope to better meet your expectations of service by clearly identifying the particular services to be provided and their frequency. Please be assured that all information that you provide will be kept strictly confidential. During this engagement we may, on occasion, be required to consult with other third-party professionals at which time we would obtain your written permission to disclose your personal information.

The services expected to be provided is listed above under Proposal with an a la carte option if more tax returns are needed to be prepared.

*Schedule E may be an up-charge. Sometimes individuals will have multiple Real Estate Properties and requires more than one Schedule E to be filed.

We will not prepare any tax returns other than those agreed upon, without your written request, and our written consent to do so.

The ever-increasing complexity of tax law has added considerably to the efforts required in preparing your returns. Further, in the past several years, Congress has legislated a number of "penalty" provisions which are intended to enforce new and stricter standards of compliance with the tax laws. Penalties for failure to comply with these standards can be substantial. As a result, it has become increasingly important for you to carefully organize tax records in assisting preparation, as well as provide support and substantiation and to keep us informed of circumstances that may require additional consideration.

We will use our best professional judgment in preparing your returns, but we cannot assure that positions taken on your tax returns will not be contested by federal or state authorities. If the tax liability should be contested, there may be additional assessments of tax, interest and penalties

which are your responsibility. We have not been engaged to and will not prepare financial statements. We will not audit or otherwise verify the data you submit to us, although we may ask you to clarify certain information.

We will prepare the tax returns noted above (based on the priced package needed in addition to any a la carte chosen) from information furnished to us by you or by your designated person. If you believe there is any additional information available which might be applicable to any of the areas listed or discussed, please advise us so that we may consider such data. We will not audit or independently verify any data submitted. However, we may ask you to clarify certain information or furnish us with additional data.

We will prepare the above-referenced tax returns solely for filing with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and applicable state and local tax authorities. Our work is not intended to benefit or influence any third party, either to obtain credit or for any other purpose.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless with respect to any and all claims arising from the use of the tax returns for any purpose other than filing with the IRS, state and local tax authorities regardless of the nature of the claim, including the negligence of any party.

What We'll Do

We will send a request and questionnaire to be able to complete our tax preparation activities. We will prepare your tax returns based upon your filing status as reflected in your income tax returns for last year. If your filing status has changed, you wish to change your filing status, or you have questions about your filing status, please contact us immediately.

We will use our judgment to resolve questions in your favor where a tax law is unclear, provided that 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 tax reference materials. If the IRS, state or local tax authorities later contest the position you select, additional tax, penalties, and interest may be assessed. 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.

Our additional advice is based upon tax reference materials, facts, assumptions, and representations that are subject to change. Tax reference materials include, but are not limited to the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), regulations, Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures, Private Letter Rulings, court decisions, and similar state and local guidance. We will not update our advice after the conclusion of the engagement for subsequent legislative or administrative changes or future judicial interpretations. To the extent we provide written advice concerning federal tax matters, we will follow the guidance contained in U.S. Treasury Department Circular 230 (“Circular 230”), §10.37, Requirements for Written Advice.

What We Won't Do

We will make no attempt to adjust the records to reflect Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or to reflect proper tax record keeping. We will not audit or verify the data you submit. We will not provide any financial statements and will not perform any compilation, review or audit of any of the financial information, we do not, at any time, provide legal services, of any type. We have not been requested to discover errors, misrepresentations, fraud, illegal acts or theft. Therefore, we have not included any procedures designed or intended to discover such acts, and you agree we have no responsibility to do so.

What We Need From You

To perform our services, we will need to obtain information on a timely and periodic basis from your company. You agree to provide us with complete copies of previously filed tax returns, supporting schedules, the accounting files and any other records or information that we may request, either at the inception or during the course of the engagement.

We will provide you with a questionnaire and file requests to help you compile and document the information necessary to prepare your income tax returns. You must complete the income tax organizer with accurate and complete information. Income from all sources, including those outside the U.S., is required.

Our advice is dependent upon the timeliness, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations that we receive from you, as well as your stated intended use of the advice. Therefore, providing us with inaccurate or incomplete information or representations may result in inaccurate findings or inappropriate recommendations, and critical recommendations may not be identified. If information changes during the course of the engagement, you must provide us with the updated information and representations on a timely basis, as the change in information may affect our advice. We will not audit or otherwise verify the data you submit to us, although we may ask you to clarify certain information.

You have final responsibility for the accuracy of these tax preparation services. We will provide you with a copy of your electronic tax returns and accompanying schedules and statements for review prior to filing with the IRS, state and local tax authorities, as applicable. You agree to review and examine them carefully for accuracy and completeness.

You will be required to verify and sign a completed Form 8879, IRS e-file Signature Authorization, and any similar state and local equivalent authorization form before your returns can be filed electronically.

In the event that you do not wish to have your tax returns filed electronically, please contact our firm. Additional procedures will apply. You will be responsible for reviewing the paper returns for accuracy, signing them, and filing them timely with the tax authorities.

Responsibilities

Government Inquiries:

This engagement does not include responding to inquiries by any governmental agency or tax authority.

Penalties and Interest Charges:

Federal, state, and local tax authorities impose various penalties and interest charges for non-compliance with tax laws and regulations, including failure to file or late filing of returns, and underpayment of taxes. You, as the taxpayer, remain responsible for the payment of all tax, penalties, and interest charges imposed by tax authorities.

Confidentiality:

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.

Tax Return Extension Policy:

It may become necessary to apply for an extension of the filing deadline if there are unresolved issues or delays in processing, or if we do not receive all of the necessary information from you on a timely basis. Applying for an extension of time to file may extend the time available for a government agency to undertake an audit of your return or may extend the statute of limitations to file a legal action. All taxes owed are due by the original filing due date. Additionally, extensions may affect your liability for penalties and interest or compliance with governmental or other deadlines.

To the extent you wish to engage our firm to apply for extensions of time to file tax returns on your behalf, you must notify us of this request in writing. Our firm will not file these applications unless we receive an executed copy of this Agreement and your express written authorization to file for an extension. In some cases, your signature may be required on such applications prior to filing.
