Effective Date: October 8, 2026

Welcome to the website of Flat Fee Tax Service (“Flat Fee Tax Service,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our website and its content.

By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use this website.

1. About Our Website

This website provides general information about Flat Fee Tax Service and the tax-related services we may provide.

The website may contain information concerning matters such as:

- - IRS back taxes
  - Tax liens
  - Bank levies
  - Wage garnishments
  - Offers in Compromise
  - Payment plans
  - Penalty abatement
  - Unfiled tax returns
  - California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) matters

The availability and suitability of any service depends on the individual circumstances of the client and applicable federal and state requirements.

2. No Tax, Legal, or Financial Advice Through the Website

Information provided on this website is intended for general informational purposes only.

Website content should not be considered a substitute for individualized tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice.

Your tax situation may involve facts and circumstances that are not addressed by information presented on this website. You should obtain appropriate professional advice before making decisions concerning your particular tax situation.

Nothing on this website creates an attorney-client relationship or any other professional relationship merely because you access, read, or communicate through the website.

A professional relationship is established only when expressly agreed upon in accordance with applicable requirements.

3. No Guarantee of Results

Every tax matter is different. The outcome of a tax matter may depend on factors including:

- - Your tax history
  - Your financial circumstances
  - The accuracy and completeness of information provided
  - Applicable federal and state laws
  - IRS policies and procedures
  - California FTB policies and procedures
  - Decisions made by the IRS, FTB, or another governmental authority

Accordingly, Flat Fee Tax Service does not guarantee any particular result.

We do not guarantee that a client’s:

- - Tax liability will be reduced
  - Offer in Compromise will be accepted
  - Payment plan will be approved
  - Tax lien will be released
  - Bank levy will be released
  - Wage garnishment will be stopped
  - Penalties will be abated
  - Unfiled returns will be accepted without additional consequences
  - Tax matter will be resolved within a particular period

Any discussion of potential outcomes should not be interpreted as a promise or guarantee.

4. Client Information and Responsibilities

You are responsible for providing information that is accurate, complete, and truthful.

You agree to promptly provide information and documents reasonably necessary for us to evaluate or assist with your tax matter.

You are responsible for notifying us if information previously provided becomes inaccurate or incomplete.

You should carefully review documents and information prepared or submitted on your behalf before signing or authorizing their submission.

Regardless of whether a tax professional assists with a return, taxpayers may remain legally responsible for the accuracy of their tax filings. California guidance likewise advises taxpayers to review their returns and understand the information before signing.

5. Tax Documents and Sensitive Information

Tax matters may involve highly sensitive personal and financial information.

For your protection, you should not submit Social Security numbers, bank-account information, complete tax returns, tax notices, or other highly sensitive documents through an ordinary website contact form unless Flat Fee Tax Service specifically instructs you to use that method.

When secure document transmission is required, you should use the secure method designated by Flat Fee Tax Service.

You are responsible for ensuring that information you provide is accurate and belongs to you or that you are otherwise authorized to provide it.

6. Consultations

A request for a consultation through the website does not automatically establish a client relationship.

Submitting a contact form, calling the telephone number listed on the website, or requesting a consultation does not guarantee that Flat Fee Tax Service will accept your matter.

A consultation may be subject to availability and any applicable terms communicated to you at the time of scheduling.

7. Fees and Payment

Fees for professional services will be communicated to the client before services are provided or as otherwise agreed upon.

Where applicable, the scope of services, fees, payment requirements, and other conditions may be set out in a separate engagement agreement or other written agreement.

If a separate engagement agreement exists between Flat Fee Tax Service and a client, the terms of that agreement may govern the professional relationship and take precedence over conflicting general website information.

No fee information displayed on the website should be interpreted as a binding quotation unless expressly identified as such.

8. Engagement Agreements

Certain services may require the client to enter into a separate written engagement agreement.

An engagement agreement may specify:

- - The services to be provided
  - The scope of representation or assistance
  - Fees
  - Payment terms
  - Client responsibilities
  - Limitations of the engagement
  - Termination provisions
  - Other applicable terms

Where an engagement agreement applies, the terms of that agreement govern the specific professional engagement.

9. Government Agencies

Flat Fee Tax Service is an independent service provider and is not a government agency.

The website should not be interpreted as representing that Flat Fee Tax Service is part of, affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service, California Franchise Tax Board, or any other governmental agency unless expressly stated.

Government agencies make their own decisions concerning tax liabilities, collection actions, payment arrangements, Offers in Compromise, penalties, liens, levies, and other tax matters.

10. Offers in Compromise

An Offer in Compromise is subject to applicable IRS requirements and approval by the appropriate governmental authority.

Submission of an Offer in Compromise does not guarantee acceptance.

Eligibility, financial circumstances, tax compliance, and other factors may affect whether an offer is accepted.

Flat Fee Tax Service does not guarantee that any Offer in Compromise will be accepted or that a particular amount of tax debt will be settled.

11. Payment Plans

Payment plans and installment arrangements are subject to applicable governmental requirements and approval.

Submitting a request for a payment arrangement does not guarantee approval.

The terms, payment amount, duration, and other conditions of an approved arrangement may be determined by the applicable taxing authority.

12. Tax Liens, Levies, and Garnishments

Tax liens, bank levies, wage garnishments, and other collection actions are subject to applicable federal or state law and governmental procedures.

Flat Fee Tax Service does not guarantee that a lien, levy, garnishment, or other collection action will be removed, released, suspended, or otherwise resolved.

13. California FTB Matters

California Franchise Tax Board matters are subject to applicable California law, regulations, and FTB procedures.

Any authorization or representation before the FTB may require appropriate documentation or a valid Power of Attorney or other authorization.
