Dear Client,

This letter sets forth the nature and extent of the services we agree to perform, your responsibilities, and our

fee arrangements.

We will prepare your 2018 federal income tax return, as well as any applicable state income tax returns, from

information furnished to us by you. We will not audit or independently verify the data you submit. However,

we may ask for clarification of some of the information. It is your responsibility to provide us with complete

and accurate data. We have furnished this organizer to guide you in gathering the information required for

us to prepare complete and accurate tax returns. Failure to use this organizer will increase the preparation

time and increase our bill to you.

We will be providing only secure PDF copies of tax returns and related documents to you. For hard copies

there will be a $50.00 additional charge for printing, handling, and postage.

Our fee for these services will be based on the amount of time that takes for us to prepare the returns, at our

standard billing rates. Electronic filing, if available, is included at no additional cost; if we prepare extensions

to file your tax return, there will be a fee of $50.00 per extension filed. All invoices rendered by us to you for

these services performed are payable upon approval to e-file your return and presentation of our invoice.

All tax returns are potentially subject to review by the tax authorities. If you are contacted or receive any

correspondence from any tax agencies, please contact us immediately! Resolution of many such issues

should be handled by our firm to minimize the potential aggravation to you. Usually, the sooner we reply,

the easier it is to resolve the problem.

Additionally, should the authorities choose to examine your tax return, we are available to represent you, at

your request. Such additional services are NOT included in our fee for the preparation of these tax returns.

To indicate your approval of this agreement, please sign in the space below. We are glad to have you as a

client, and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship.

New for 2018 – Look for TCJA Updates to see if you benefit from the new tax reform, Tax Cuts Jobs Act.

Sincerely,

Craig Foster

SPECIAL NOTE

If FirsTax did not prepare your last three years tax returns, we will review them at no charge to

determine if we can amend them to save you additional tax dollars. If we find that we can save you

additional taxes, and you approve, we’ll amend your tax returns so that the IRS will refund those

additional taxes to you. Our fee will then be half of the savings realized when you receive your

refund. It’s a no lose offer!

IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE TO E-FILE

We will prepare two copies of your tax return(s) for you. The “Client Copy” has a cover sheet titled

“Instructions for Filing Tax Return”. These instructions clearly advise you what type of tax return was

prepared, how much you are being refunded or the amount you owe, where to sign the tax return,

and where to mail the tax return.

Please read the instructions carefully to ensure that you correctly file the second copy of your tax

return(s).

Always mail your tax return by certified mail, return receipt request!

ESTIMATED TAX PAYMENTS

Your tax situation may call for you to make estimated tax payments toward your 2019 tax liabilities. If

so, the instruction sheet will indicate the due date and amount of each recommended payment.

Payment coupons, with mailing address, are included in your tax return package.

Failure to make estimated tax payments may result in substantial penalties!
