2. Description of Services

• Setting up direct deposit for tax refunds
• Customer support throughout the filing process

3. Service Fee and Payment

Fee: Our tax preparation service is $50 USD per tax return (flat fee).

Payment Method: Payment is accepted via Zelle and must be received before we file your tax return.

Non-Refundable: The service fee is non-refundable once we begin preparing your tax return. If we are unable to file your return due to incomplete or inaccurate information provided by you, no refund will be issued.

4. Your Responsibilities

When using our Services, you agree to:

1. Provide Accurate Information: All information and documents you provide must be accurate, complete, and truthful. This includes your W2 forms, personal information, and banking details.
2. Provide Complete Documents: You are responsible for providing all necessary tax documents (W2s, 1099s, etc.).
3. Review Before Filing: You agree to review your tax return information before we submit it to the IRS.
4. Provide Valid Contact Information: You must provide a working phone number and/or email address so we can communicate with you.

6. Respond Promptly: You agree to respond to our requests for information or clarification in a timely manner.

5. Tax Refund Disclaimer

Please understand the following about tax refunds:

• We cannot guarantee any specific refund amount. Refunds depend on your income, withholdings, and tax situation.
• Typical refunds for J1/H2B workers range from $500-$2,000, but your refund may be higher, lower, or zero.
• In some cases, you may owe taxes instead of receiving a refund.
• The IRS determines your final refund amount, not J1 Tax Pro.
• IRS processing times are typically 21 days for e-filed returns, but delays may occur.

6. IRS Correspondence and Delays

Sometimes the IRS may:

• Request additional identity verification
• Send letters to your U.S. mailing address
• Delay your refund for review

J1 Tax Pro is not responsible for IRS delays, audits, or additional verification requirements. We will assist you in understanding any IRS correspondence, but you are ultimately responsible for responding to the IRS.

7. Limitations of Liability

• J1 Tax Pro is not liable for any IRS penalties, interest, or additional taxes resulting from inaccurate information provided by you.
• We are not liable for delays in receiving your refund caused by the IRS.
• We are not liable for errors in your tax return caused by incomplete or incorrect information you provided.
• Our total liability is limited to the amount of the service fee you paid ($50).

8. Accuracy Guarantee

We guarantee that your tax return will be prepared accurately based on the information you provide. If we make an error in preparing your return that results in IRS penalties, we will:

1. Correct the error at no additional charge
2. Pay any IRS penalties directly caused by our error (not caused by information you provided)

9. Confidentiality

We treat all client information as confidential. We will not share your personal or financial information with third parties except:

• As required to file your tax return with the IRS
• As required by law or court order
• With your explicit consent
