Please read this letter carefully as it is important you understand and accept the terms under which we have agreed to perform our services, as well as management’s responsibilities under this agreement.  \nTax Services  \nWe will prepare Form 709, United States Gift Tax Return, for the year ended December 31, 2024, from the information that you furnish to us. We will make no audit or other verification of the data you submit, although we may ask you to clarify or elaborate some of the information. We are not preparing any returns other than those listed above or giving any tax planning services.  \nBy your signature below, you are confirming that you will furnish us with all the information required for the preparation of the return and that unless we are otherwise advised, the related values are supported by the necessary records required under the Internal Revenue Code. If you have any questions as to the type of records required, please ask us for advice in that regard.  \nIn preparing the gift tax return, we will not independently determine values, except where the values could be determined by reference to market quotations contained in The Wall Street Journal or other equally reliable sources. As we are not business or real estate appraisers or valuators, all valuation services will be performed by qualified third parties. You acknowledge and agree that you will be solely responsible for selecting the third-party appraisers or valuators. You further agree that we may rely on the values determined by said third-party appraisers or valuators in preparing the gift tax returns and that we shall not be liable for any damages that may result from the use of said values in the event they are not accepted by the relevant taxing authorities.  \nWe will use our professional judgment and expertise in preparing your return(s) given the guidance as promulgated at the time our services are rendered. Subsequent changes in law, regulatory rulings, or interpretations by the applicable taxing authorities may affect the information we have previously provided, and these effects may be material. Whenever we are aware that a possibly applicable tax law is unclear or that there are conflicting interpretations ofthe law by authorities (e.g., tax agencies and courts), we will share our knowledge and understanding of the possible positions that may be taken on your return(s) . In accordance with our professional standards, we will follow whatever position you request, as long as it is consistent with the codes, regulations, and interpretations that have been promulgated. If you desire a legal opinion before choosing among alternative tax positions, legal counsel should be separately retained for this purpose. We will work with you and your chosen legal counsel to the best of our abilities in giving you whatever information we have that may help you in your decision. You have the final responsibility for positions taken on the return.  \nYour return is subject to examination by the taxing authorities. In the event of an audit, you may be requested to produce documents, records, or other evidence to substantiate the information shown on the tax return. We are not responsible for Internal Revenue Service calculation of values nor for resulting taxes, penalties, and interest.  \nThe law provides for a penalty to be imposed where taxpayers make a substantial understatement of their tax liability. Taxpayers may seek to avoid all or part of the penalty by showing (1) that they acted in good faith and there was reasonable cause for the understatement,(2) that the understatement was based on substantial authority,  \n2024 Engagement Letter – Gift Tax Form ","cbCaigg5VspjduB2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigg5VspjduB2","pdf",161804,"English","# Tax Services\n## Scope of services and Form 709 preparation\n## Client responsibilities and reliance on records\n## Valuation limitations and third-party appraisers\n## Professional judgment and legal interpretations\n## Audit and examination responsibilities\n## Penalties and substantial authority\n## Legal change and possible amended returns\n# Fees","[{\"question\":\"What tax return does the firm prepare under this engagement?\",\"answer\":\"The firm prepares Form 709, United States Gift Tax Return, for the year ended December 31, 2024, using information the client furnishes.
