Dependent Claims & Rules

Earned Income Credit

You may not claim the Earned Income Credit if you have not lived with the child for over half the year, even if you have supported the child.

TIEBREAKER RULES: To determine which person can treat the child as a qualifying child, the following tiebreaker rules apply:

If only one of the persons is the child’s parent, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the parent.

If the parents do not file a joint return together but both parents claim the child as a qualifying child, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent with whom the child lived with for the longer period of time during the year. If the child lived with each parent for the same amount of time, the IRS will treat the child as the qualifying child of the parent who had the higher adjusted gross income (AGI) for the year.

If no parent can claim the child as a qualifying child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for the year.

If a parent can claim the child as a qualifying child but no parent does claim the child, the child is treated as the qualifying child of the person who had the highest AGI for the year, but only if that person’s AGI is higher than the highest AGI of any of the child’s parents who can claim the child.

Additional Info

Tax Credit Due Diligence Questionnaire

We ask that you complete this due diligence questionnaire to ensure you are eligible to claim at least one of several valuable tax credits. While the questions may seem to be a little intrusive, they are questions that we are required to ask under the due diligence requirements of the new tax laws. We will keep your responses and documents on file, in the event the IRS should ever ask for them. Please complete them in as much detail as possible.

Financial Information

Refund Bank Products

You are not required to use a refund bank product for disbursement. You may choose to pay your preparation fees upfront to avoid the costs associated with using a refund bank transfer. These fees are for the refund bank transmission and service bureau. They are not included in your quoted tax preparation fees.

Transmission Fee: $24

Electronic Filing Fee: $25

Bank Fee: $20

Audit Protection

As part of our ongoing commitment to providing comprehensive support, we wanted to inform you that your tax return will automatically be enrolled in Audit Protection. This service offers peace of mind by providing assistance if your return is selected for an audit by the IRS. The cost for Audit Protection is $29.99, which will be added to the total charge for your tax preparation services. Grandfathered plans will not be affected by this add-on. Should you have any questions or prefer not to opt into this service, please don't hesitate to contact us prior to finalizing your return.

Refund Advance Loan Details

Approval rate of 79%. Your refund and loan history is reviewed from previous years. 4 out of 5 of clients are approved. 

**Loans over $1000, have an 36% interest fee attached.

The maximum amount for a Refund Advance Loan is $7000. If approved for a Refund Advance Loan greater than $1,000, you will be charged interest. The amount of interest you are charged depends on how many days it takes to repay the advance from your tax refund. In other words — if your tax refund is processed and deposited by the IRS or State quickly, you’ll pay less than if your tax refund takes longer to be released. Interest charges are capped at 60 days. So, the charges to you will stop at 60 days if your refund is delayed.

**DISCLAIMER: DESPITE APPROVAL ODDS, REFUND ADVANCES ARE NOT GUARANTEED.  THE REFUND BANK HAS THE OPTION TO APPROVE THE AMOUNT REQUESTED, APPROVE THE APPLICATION FOR A LESSER AMOUNT, OR DENY THE APPLICATION**

 

If you apply for a refund advance loan, the deposit method you choose for the refund advance will be the same method used for your refund deposit. The method can't be changed in the event the loan application is denied.

Bank Account Information

Please ensure that your bank information is correct. Once transmitted, your banking information can't be changed by your tax preparer or the refund bank. Any returned payment due to incorrect bank information, will be issued as a paper check, and result in a delay of your refund being disbursed.

Letter of Engagement

Thank you for choosing Elite Tax Group to assist you with your requested year taxes. This letter confirms the terms of our engagement with you and outlines the nature and extent of the services we will provide.

We will prepare your requested federal and state income tax returns. We will depend on you to provide the information we need to prepare complete and accurate returns. The law imposes penalties when taxpayers underestimate their tax liability. We may ask you to clarify some items but will not audit or otherwise verify the data you submit.


We will perform accounting services only as needed to prepare your tax returns.

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.


I acknowledge that all information provided to Elite Tax Group is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that I am required to have any supporting documentation to validate the information provided. Furthermore, I understand that knowingly providing false information on my tax return and reporting it to the IRS, that I am taking part in a potentially criminal penalty situation and is punishable by law including but not limited to: facing court dates, restitution, and possible imprisonment. I waive Elite Tax Group and the preparer of any error due to incorrect information provided by me. By signing below, I authorize Elite Tax Group to file my tax return.

I acknowledge by signing this form if I and/or my spouse owes a federal/government debt such as IRS, child support, student loans etc., I/we are still responsible for tax preparation fees due to Elite Tax Group at the time of service. Also, if the federal refund amount is mailed, I/we are still responsible for the tax preparation fees stated on the invoice. If the tax preparation fees are not paid, I understand Elite Tax Group will take legal action to collect the unpaid tax preparation fees. I also agree that client won’t dispute tax preparation fees for services rendered due to IRS delays.

Invoices are due and payable upon presentation. We will return your original records to you at the end of this engagement.

We will retain copies of your records and our work papers for your engagement for three years, after which these documents will be destroyed. Paper copies of the tax return and other documents will be available for a fee.


Our engagement to prepare your tax returns will conclude with the delivery of the completed returns to you (if paper-filing), or your signature and our subsequent submittal of your tax return (if e-filing). If you have not selected to e-file your returns with our office, you will be solely responsible to file the returns with the appropriate taxing authorities. Review all tax-return documents carefully before signing them. You agree to allow Elite Tax Group to file your tax return and understand we do not give quotes to be comparable to DIY tax software.

You choose not to file
You decide to use another tax preparer
You delay submitting required documents
Your refund amount is different than expected
All fees paid for tax return preparation, VIP services, or extensions are final once work is initiated on your file.

If we have not yet started any work, you may request a cancellation.
