Required Certification and Signature:
Based on the information you furnish us; we will prepare your Income Tax Returns. The law requires taxpayers to
maintain records supporting their return, including receipts, canceled checks, card statements, etc. for all deductible
expenditures. You will be responsible for maintaining these records, for the accuracy, and for the completeness of the
information submitted to us in connection with the preparation of your return. By signing this document, you are
representing that you have fully disclosed your income and relevant information to the best of your knowledge. We
do not and cannot audit this information for its accuracy.
When we obtain confidential financial information from you, it will not be shared with any person or corporation other
than the employees of our firm who have a need to know in order to complete the task(s) for which we have been
engaged. Neither will we sell or disclose your personal financial information to third parties without your prior consent.
Only a government agency, following due process of law, can obtain your information without consent.
We offer free defense for any return that we prepare and will pay the penalties and interest arising from error on our
part. These guarantees are contingent on timely communication of any letters or notices received by the client and
full disclosure of any data pertinent to the issue at hand. Regarding a tax home, per diem, or other defense of a
healthcare traveler's contractual issue, our guarantee is contingent on us receiving copies of all traveler's
contracts for the year in question.
OUR FEES:
Our fee schedule/pricing can be found on our website. (Fees for Corporate Returns, International Returns,
or special circumstances will be provided upon request or discussed upfront.)
Additional charges may be incurred if your return requires additional research, staff time to produce
records from third parties, or communication to other entities on your behalf.
An invoice will be sent to your email after your documents have been uploaded for your review.
We do not take payment out of your refund. (The bank fees for this can be upwards of $50 for the
convenience and we strive to keep your costs low. We trust you to pay us after our work is completed!)
Please Note: We bill for our completed work. If you decide not to file the return we prepare, it does
not invalidate our invoice. If you cancel after your file has gone through our scheduling and data
entry process, there is a $150 cancellation charge to cover the time invested. If you go through
the tax consult, the full fee will be invoiced. A $35 late fee will be added for invoices not paid
within 30 days. If there is a financial difficulty, please call us so we can design a payment plan for
you. If we do not hear from you nor receive payment due, then your account will go to collections
after 6 months.

how often deductions wind up being even like $25, $50, $100… The probability of every deduction landing on a $5 or $10 note must be
similar to hitting the Powerball Jackpot. 😯😉

ITEMIZING
DEDUCTIONS:
Many of our clients no longer itemize. If you know without a shadow of a doubt that you will not itemize, you can skip to page 6. However, some states allow you to itemize
and it may be worth it for you to spend some time to gather and answer questions 10-17.
10) MEDICAL AND DENTAL expenses are limited by 7.5% of your gross income for 2020. So only the expenses over that 7.5% are deductible to you. Some states,
including AZ, OH, ND, and NM, allow you to deduct expenses regardless on the state return.
