Enclosed is an organizer that we provide to our tax clients to assist in gathering the information necessary to prepare the
current year tax returns.
The Internal Revenue Service matches information returns with amounts reported on income tax returns. A negligence
penalty may be assessed where income is unreported. Accordingly, all Forms 1099, Schedules K-1 and other information
returns reflecting amounts reported to the Internal Revenue Service should be submitted with this organizer.
Your corporate income tax returns are due on March 15, 2010. In order to meet this filing deadline, your completed tax
organizer needs to be received no later than February 15, 2010. Any information received after this date may require an
extension of time to be filed for this return.
Please Note:
If an extension of time is required, any tax that may be due must be paid with the extension. Any taxes not paid by
the filing deadline may be subject to late payment penalties and interest when those taxes are actually paid.
We look forward to providing services to you. Should you have any questions regarding any items, please do not
hesitate to contact us.

1120 Corporate Tax Return Engagement Letter
This letter is to confirm and specify the terms of our engagement with ____________________________________ for
the year(s) ended _____________ and to clarify the nature and extent of the services we will provide. Also, by signing
this engagement letter we will have presumed that you are the person responsible for the tax matters of the
partnership. If this is not a correct presumption, please furnish us with the name of the tax matters partner.
Our engagement will be designed to perform the following services:
1. Prepare the federal, state and local income tax returns with supporting schedules.
2. Perform any bookkeeping necessary for preparation of the income tax returns.
Our work in connection with the preparation of your income tax returns does not include any procedures designed to
discover defalcations or other irregularities, should any exist.
We will use professional judgment in resolving questions where the tax law is unclear, or where there may be conflicts
between the taxing authorities’ interpretations of the law and the supportable positions. Unless otherwise instructed by
you, we will resolve such questions in your favor whenever possible.
The law provides various penalties that may be imposed when taxpayers understate their tax liability. If you would like
information on the amount or the circumstances of these penalties, please contact us. Because this is an entity whose
tax attributes flow through to its partners or members, the penalty for substantial understatement of tax relating to this
entity may be imposed on the partners or members.
Management is responsible for the proper recording of transactions in the book of accounts, for the safeguarding of
assets, and for the substantial accuracy of the financial records. You have the final responsibility for the income tax
returns; therefore, you should review them carefully before you sign and file them.
The filing deadline for the tax return is March 15, 2010. In order to meet the filing deadline, we should receive the
information needed to complete the return no later than February 15, 2010.
If an extension at this time is required any tax that may be due with the return must be paid with the extension. Any
amounts not paid by the filing deadline are subject to interest and late payment penalties.
Your returns may be selected for review by the taxing authorities. Any proposed adjustments by the examining agent
are subject to certain rights of appeal. In the event of such government tax examination, we will be available upon
request to represent you and will render additional invoices for the time and expenses incurred.
Our fee for these services will be based upon the amount of time required at standard billing rates plus out of pocket
expenses. We are requesting an initial nonrefundable retainer of $100, prior to commencement of any work. All
invoices are due and payable upon presentation. Interest accruals are assessed monthly at 1-1/2% on the outstanding
balance.
Subject to applicable professional or other guidelines, we may withdraw from the engagement by sending written notice
thereof to you by e-mail, fax, or US mail.
