SECTION 1 – SCOPE OF SERVICES

Tax Preparation Services: Sino Tax provides tax preparation services based solely on the information provided by the client. Our role is limited to the preparation and submission of federal and state tax returns and related documents in accordance with IRS and state tax requirements. We do not verify, audit, or independently review the data supplied. Tax returns and related documents are prepared exclusively for filing with the IRS and/or state tax authorities. You are solely responsible for the completeness and accuracy of all information provided, and Sino Tax will not be liable for any errors, omissions, or penalties arising from inaccuracies or incomplete information.

Business Formation Services: Sino Tax assists clients in forming new businesses, including document drafting and filing. Sino Tax shall not be responsible for any legal, tax, or compliance issues that arise from errors or omissions in client-provided information or from legal or regulatory developments impacting the business post-formation.

Other Services: Sino Tax may provide other services upon request, which may include, but are not limited to, consulting, and specialized filings. All services provided rely entirely on the data, information, and instructions supplied by the client, and Sino Tax assumes no responsibility or liability for any issues, errors, or outcomes that may arise from reliance on this information or for any actions or omissions resulting from the scope of work provided.

SECTION 2 – TAX SERVICES FOR US ENTITY OWNED BY FOREIGN PERSON(S)

Foreign Single Member LLCs Taxed as Disregarded Entities (DE): If your business is a Single Member LLC owned by a foreign individual and is treated as a disregarded entity (DE) for U.S. tax purposes, you must provide an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) or Social Security Number (SSN) to enable us to prepare your 1040NR tax return (If Applicable). Absence of an ITIN or SSN does not exempt you from filing; in such cases, we may only be able to file an Information Tax Return (Form 1120 pro forma) with Form 5472 (If Applicable). You are solely responsible for obtaining and providing an ITIN or SSN if required. Sino Tax shall not be liable for any non-filing, penalties, or other consequences arising from the absence of an ITIN/SSN or from inaccuracies in client-provided information.

Foreign Investments and Transactions: If this reporting entity is involved in any “reportable transactions” with a related party, filing IRS Form 5471 or Form 5472 is required. It is your responsibility to provide us with all relevant information. A “related party” includes, but is not limited to, any foreign shareholder with at least 25% ownership, either directly or indirectly. Failure to disclose these transactions may lead to significant penalties. Reportable transactions include, but are not limited to, borrowing and lending activities between the reporting entity and related parties. For more information, please consult with us or refer to IRS Forms 5471 and 5472. You must inform us of any reportable transactions, as failure to file, late filing, or filing inaccurate information may result in penalties.

SECTION 3 – CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES

You are solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy, completeness, and timeliness of all information provided to Sino Tax.

Personal Expenses: You must properly segregate personal expenses (such as meals, travel, entertainment, vehicle use, and gifts) from business expenses and maintain adequate records to comply with IRS requirements.

Gift Deductions: If gifts to any client exceed $25 USD per tax year, you must inform us, as these are subject to special IRS rules.

Other Filing Requirements: You are responsible for informing us of any additional state or local filing obligations, reporting requirements, or elections that may be applicable. Sino Tax is not liable for any penalties or compliance issues arising from the client’s failure to inform us of such requirements.

Entity Classification: It is your responsibility to file IRS Form 2553 or Form 8832 for any tax classification election and to ensure your business’s tax classification is accurate before signing the tax return.

Review and Filing Authorization: Once your tax returns are drafted, we will provide a copy for review. It is your responsibility to carefully review all figures, tax years, accounting methods, forms, schedules and others. You must notify us of any omissions or mistakes before signing the tax return or e-file Signature Authorization (Form 8879). We will not file your tax returns until we receive signed authorization. Sino Tax is not liable for any penalties, interest, or late fees resulting from delays in your authorization. For security reasons, identification numbers on your copy of the tax return may be partially masked; an unmasked copy can be provided upon request.

Tax Payment Responsibility: If you owe taxes, you are responsible for submitting the payment to the appropriate tax authority. If you provide bank information for electronic withdrawal, it is your responsibility to ensure the payment is processed successfully.
