You must sign this form each year when you come in for your appointment or drop your return off. You may print this out now, complete it and include it when you bring us your tax return source documents.

We cannot begin working on your return until these 2 forms are completed and signed. If you are new to our firm, we will also need a copy of your most recently filed return along with the New Client Information form completed and brought with you to your appointment.
