Additional Terms for Optional Tax Services

This shall apply only to Subscribers who requested the option to receive tax preparation services as part of the Brooksite Edge Services.

In the interest of enhancing our availability to meet your professional service needs while maintaining service quality and timeliness, we may use a third-party service provider to assist us in the preparation of your tax returns. This provider has established procedures and controls designed to protect client confidentiality and maintain data security. As the paid preparer of your tax returns, we remain responsible for exercising reasonable care in preparing your tax return, and your tax return will be subjected to our firm's normal quality control procedures.

This engagement does not include responding to inquiries by any governmental agency or tax authority. If your tax return is selected for examination or audit, you may request that we assist you in responding to such inquiry. In that event, we would be pleased to discuss aiding you under the terms of a separate engagement letter for that specific purpose.

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

You are responsible for determining any other tax filing obligations with any state or local tax authorities, not referred to in the scope of this engagement, including, but not limited to, property, franchise, or payroll taxes. If it comes to our attention that you may have an obligation to file additional income or withholding tax returns, we will notify you of this in writing and ask you to contact us. If you ask us to prepare these returns, we will confirm this in a letter and detail the additional charges for this service.

Certain communications involving tax advice may be privileged and not subject to disclosure to the IRS. By disclosing the contents of those communications to anyone, or by turning over information about those communications to the government, you (or other employees) may be waiving this privilege. To protect this right to privileged communication, please consult with us or an attorney prior to disclosing any information about our tax advice

.
It may become necessary to apply for an extension of the filing deadline if there are unresolved tax issues or delays in processing, or if we do not receive all 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. Additionally, extensions may affect your liability for penalties and interest or compliance with government or other deadlines.

You should retain all the documents, canceled checks and other data that form the basis of income and deductions. These may be necessary to prove the accuracy and completeness of the returns to a taxing authority. You have the final responsibility for the income tax returns and, therefore, you should review them carefully before you sign them. Unless we are otherwise advised, you confirm that expenses such as meals, travel, entertainment, vehicle use, gifts, and related expenses for your business are supported by necessary records required by the Internal Revenue Service. At your request, we are available to answer your questions and advise you on the types of records required.

We will electronically file the returns and extensions we prepare for You that are subject to tax authority mandates.
