Collaborative Efforts for Accurate Tax Returns
In today’s digital era, gathering all the necessary documents for tax return preparation has become increasingly challenging. Clients can now provide information through multiple channels, including portals, emails, texts, downloads, organizers, phone calls, and even traditional paper documents. Moreover, the constant updates in tax document versions make it difficult to identify crucial changes.
While we have implemented robust controls to process and track incoming tax information, no system is foolproof. We strive to avoid the inconvenience of requesting information that has already been sent. Hence, we kindly request your patience if we ask for additional details. If you believe the information has been previously shared, please assist us by identifying the specific channel you used to transmit it. Additionally, your assistance in identifying duplicate or corrected information is invaluable.
Thoroughness as the Initial Step
Ensuring the accuracy of all information is paramount. In complex situations, which is our primary area of expertise, we rely on your attention and cooperation. As part of our process, we will provide a draft tax return for your review and offer to schedule a call to discuss it before finalizing. We urge you to allocate sufficient time for a comprehensive review and allow us to clarify any areas of confusion. Investing this extra time will prove worthwhile, as it significantly reduces the risk of receiving unnecessary IRS notices and potential red flags that could trigger an audit.
By working together closely, we can achieve accurate and error-free tax returns while minimizing any potential audit risks. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration.
