Compliance Protocol: Unregistered Additional Tax Preparers
Important Notice for All TAXX Savage Offices
To remain compliant with IRS, banking, and platform requirements, all tax preparers operating under your office must be formally registered and approved through the TAXX Savage Onboarding Team before preparing or filing any tax returns.
What Is Considered a Violation?
A compliance violation occurs when:
An office places additional tax preparers under their account
-
Those preparers have not completed TAXX Savage onboarding
-
Returns are prepared or filed under the office using unregistered preparers
What Happens If a Violation Is Found?
If TAXX Savage identifies unregistered tax preparers under an office:
-
The office’s ability to create new tax returns is restricted
Preparation fees for unregistered tax preparers will not be released
The office is notified by email of the violation
-
Operations will continue, but internal audits of unregistered activity will occur after tax season
Compliance Deadline
TAXX Savage issues compliance notices beginning January–February, before IRS funding begins
Notices are repeated throughout peak season and through June
-
The final deadline to cure unregistered preparer violations is February 13th
If documentation is not received and approved by this date, enforcement protocols are applied without exception.
If Your Access Is Restricted
If your office is restricted:
