Beginning on date signed, Preparer will provide the following services (collectively, the “Services”): tax preparation services; client file management and document retention. REMUNERATION FOR SERVICES. Preparer is entitled to receive a negotiated portion of fees collected from clients for Services rendered per revenue share agreement with this tax office. By default, the revenue share is structured as an 80/20 split, with 80% of the revenue going to the Preparer and 20% retained by the Company. If a Preparer prefers to retain 100% of their preparation fees, they may opt to pay for the software usage directly. By doing so, they will be entitled to 100% of the fees they charge their clients. This arrangement involves no joining cost for Preparers. Preparer is required to issue an invoice to Company for Services provided to his/her clients. Preparer will be paid from fees actually collected and will not be paid in instances where no fees are collected from clients. Where a client’s fee will be taken from that client’s refund, Preparer will not be paid until such time as that refund is issued. The preparer is responsible for establishing the fee that is charged to each customer. TERM/TERMINATION. This agreement automatically terminates on May 15, 2024. Preparer will be subject to liability for breach of contract if, at any time prior to May 15, 2024, Preparer terminates this agreement. Similarly, the Company cannot terminate this agreement prior to May 15, 2024, unless Preparer violates the term of this agreement. If the Company terminates this agreement where no breach of this agreement is found, the Company may be liable for breach of this contract. The Preparer understands that any initial enrollment cost is non-refundable. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. It is understood by the parties that Preparer is an independent contractor with respect to Company, and not an employee of Company. As such, the Company will not provide fringe benefits, including health insurance benefits, paid vacation leave, or any other employee benefit, for the benefit of Preparer. PTIN. Preparer is required to obtain and maintain a Preparer’s Tax Identification Number (PTIN) in accordance with the IRS’ rules and regulations in place during the period covered by this agreement. Preparers will not be allowed to prepare a return as a contractor for the Company without a registered PTIN number. This agreement becomes null and void if Preparer fails to obtain or, for any reason ceases to have a valid PTIN. CODE OF CONDUCT. Preparer is required to govern himself/herself in accordance with all relevant state and federal laws in particular those laws that address tax return preparation. Additionally, the Preparer is required to comply with any and all relevant administrative rules and regulations, particularly IRS Circular 230. Any willful or malicious activity conducted by Preparer regarding the falsifying of documents or information in a tax return will be transferred to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and any other appropriate authorities. Additionally, by executing this agreement, Preparer acknowledges that he/she is aware of the due diligence requirements and penalties imposed by the IRS with respect to the preparation of returns containing refundable credits (the earned income tax credit, the child tax credit, and the education expense credit). Preparer additionally agrees to prepare returns that follow these IRS due diligence requirements and that failure to do so represents a breach of this agreement. LIABILITY. Preparer is liable for following all applicable rules and regulations in the state in which they operate, and the IRS for all Services rendered under this agreement. By executing this agreement, Preparer agrees to correct any errors or omissions whether intentional or inadvertent without compensation from Company. Preparer agrees that any liability associated with the provision of Services under this agreement will be that of Preparer and not Company. BACKGROUND CHECKS AND FINGERPRINTING.

Any copyrightable works, ideas, discoveries, inventions, patents, products, or other information (collectively, the “Work Product”) developed in whole or in part by Preparer in connection with the Services shall be the exclusive property of King Tax Solutions, LLC (KTS) in accordance with KTS’s licensing agreement with Company. Upon request, the Preparer shall sign all documents necessary to confirm or perfect the exclusive ownership of the Work Product by KTS. CLIENTS. The preparer is responsible for generating their own leads and clients for return preparation. Any clients obtained by Preparer are the property of Preparer. OWNERSHIP OF SOCIAL MEDIA CONTACTS.

The preparer also will not at any time or in any manner, either directly or indirectly, divulge, disclose, or communicate any information that is the property of any client of Company or KTS. Preparer will protect all such information and treat it as strictly confidential. This provision shall continue to be effective after the termination of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, Preparer will return to Company all records, notes, documentation and other items that were used, created, or controlled by Preparer during the term of this Agreement with respect to any Services provided that are required for Company to comply with any due diligence requirements imposed by the IRS. FILE AND RECORD MAINTENANCE. The company will maintain all client return files in accordance with rules and regulations set forth by the IRS. Preparers may access their clients’ files as needed to respond to requests from the client or the IRS. Preparers may maintain copies of their own records at a location of their choosing, but Preparer accepts all liability for any disclosures of client information that occur as a result of these files they choose to maintain. This clause does not require Company to create the files. The creation of the files is the sole responsibility of the Preparer.

Preparer also acknowledges that they will follow all IRS rules with respect to file and recordkeeping. OFFICE AND EQUIPMENT USE. The company will NOT provide an office environment and computer for Preparer to prepare returns for his/her clients.
