Thank you for asking Your Company to prepare this year's returns. This proposal covers the returns we'll prepare, what we need from you and when, and three options to choose from.

 

Your Tax Picture

[Summarize the situation, for example: the business is an S corporation with two owners. Each owner is paid wages by the company and has a mortgage, some investment income, and no other businesses.]

 

What's Included

  • Business return: the company's federal and [state] income tax returns, with a schedule for each owner showing their share of the income
  • Owner returns: each owner's federal and [state] individual return, in the options that include them
  • Tax planning: quarterly estimated tax calculations and a mid-year projection, in the year-round option

 

Key Dates

  • By [February 1]: the company's books closed for the year, with year-end payroll forms
  • By [March 1]: each owner's documents, such as wage statements, investment statements, mortgage interest, and charitable receipts
  • [March 15]: our target for filing the business return, for a calendar-year company
  • [April 15]: our target for filing the owner returns

Extensions

If your documents arrive after the dates above, we'll file extensions at no extra charge and complete the returns in order of when information arrives. An extension usually gives more time to file, not more time to pay, so we'll estimate any tax due by the original deadline.

 

What's Not Included

Responding to notices or examinations from a tax authority, amended returns, bookkeeping, payroll and sales tax returns, and returns in states not listed. We're happy to quote any of these separately.

 

Payment Terms

50% of the selected option is due on signing, and the balance when the returns are ready for your review. Invoices are due within 15 days. You can pay online by card or bank transfer.

 

Acceptance

Choose an option and sign below to accept this proposal. We'll send an engagement letter for your signature and a list of the documents we need.
