FOX TAX PLANNING AND PREPARATION

SUBJECT: Preparation of Your 2011 Tax Returns Thank you for choosing Fox Tax LLC to assist you with your 2011 taxes. This letter confirms the terms of our engagement with you and outlines the nature and extent of the services we will provide. In order to ensure an understanding of our mutual responsibilities, we ask all clients for whom returns are prepared to confirm the following arrangements by signing below.

We will prepare your 2011 federal and requested state income tax returns. We will depend on you to provide the information we need to prepare complete and accurate returns. We may ask you to clarify some items but will not audit or otherwise verify the data you submit. An Organizer is enclosed to help you collect the data required for your return. The Organizer will help you avoid overlooking important information. By using it, you will contribute to efficient preparation of your returns and help minimize the cost of our services. We will perform accounting services only as needed to prepare your tax returns. Our work will not include procedures to find defalcations or other irregularities. Accordingly, our engagement should not be relied upon to disclose errors, fraud, or other illegal acts, though it may be necessary for you to clarify some of the information you submit. We will, of course, inform you of any material errors, fraud, or other illegal acts we discover. The law imposes penalties when taxpayers underestimate their tax liability. Please call us if you have concerns about such penalties. Should we encounter instances of unclear tax law, or of potential conflicts in the interpretation of the law, we will outline the reasonable courses of action and the risks and consequences of each. We will ultimately adopt, on your behalf, the alternative you select. Our fee will be based on the forms required plus out-of-pocket expenses. Invoices are due and payable upon presentation. We will require payment prior to the completion of electronic filing of your tax return. We will return your original records to you at the end of this engagement. You should securely store these records, along with all supporting documents, canceled checks, etc., as these items may later be needed to prove accuracy and completeness of a return. We will retain copies of your records and our work papers for your engagement for seven years, after which these documents will be destroyed. Our engagement to prepare your 2011 tax returns will conclude with the delivery of the completed returns to you (if paper filing) or your signing, and the subsequent submittal, of your tax return (if e-filing). Review all tax-return documents carefully before signing them.

To affirm that this letter correctly summarizes your understanding of the arrangements for this work, please sign the enclosed copy of this letter in the space indicated and return it to us with your tax info. We appreciate your confidence in us. Please call if you have questions. Sincerely, Mark Fox Alyssa Fox Fox Tax Service, LLC

DO NOT FORGET - BRING TO APPOINTMENT

If completing tax return at our office, we will be using the Practitioner PIN method of signing returns with a self-selected PIN number that acts as your electronic signature. Signing below verifies that you understand that you will be signing by this electronic and tree-saving method and will not physically sign the actual tax return. We will also provide a copy of your tax return via electronic methods unless a paper copy is specifically requested.
