Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

This website (matloobtaxandconsulting.com) is operated by Matloob Tax & Consulting, a sole-practitioner Enrolled Agent practice owned by Abdul H. Matloob, EA. By using the site you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

2. No engagement, no legal or tax advice

Content on this site is provided for general information only. It is not legal or tax advice, does not create a tax-preparer or practitioner-client relationship, and should not be relied on for any specific transaction or filing position. An engagement begins only after a written engagement letter is signed by both parties, as required by Circular 230 §10.33 and our internal engagement SOP.

3. Sending a message

Submitting a form, email, or voicemail does not create an engagement and does not make the information you send confidential in the same way that information provided during an engagement is. Please do not send sensitive tax documents (for example, W-2s, K-1s, or Social Security numbers) until we confirm receipt of your request, agree to take the engagement, and provide our secure client portal for uploads.

4. Accuracy of information

We take reasonable care to keep information on this site current, but tax law changes frequently. Content is provided "as is" and we make no warranty that any deadline, form number, rate, threshold, or procedure remains accurate after publication. Always verify directly with the IRS (irs.gov) or the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (mass.gov/dor), or contact us about your specific situation.

5. Circular 230 disclosure

Any tax information contained on this site is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. This disclosure is made in compliance with Circular 230, 31 C.F.R. Part 10.

9. Payments and fees

Fees for engagements are stated in a written engagement letter or fee schedule provided before work begins. Payments initiated through our client portal or a Stripe-hosted payment link are processed by our payment provider under its own terms. A payment alone does not create or modify an engagement.
