Terms of Service

2026-04-24

These Terms of Service govern your use of handledtax.com and any service offered through it. Handled Tax and Advisory operates under Handled Tax & Advisory. Use of this site indicates that you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

What we do

Handled Tax and Advisory is a paid tax return preparer registered with the IRS under a valid PTIN. We prepare federal and state tax returns. We provide year round advisory and membership services to existing clients. We provide hourly advisory engagements for one time questions and decisions. We provide ongoing financial partnership retainers for businesses and church financial guidance retainers for ministries.

We are not a CPA firm and we do not provide attest or assurance services. We are not an Enrolled Agent representation practice and we do not represent clients in IRS audits, appeals, or Tax Court matters. If a matter requires representation, we will refer you to an Enrolled Agent, CPA, or attorney qualified to handle it. Tax preparation services are governed by IRS Circular 230.

How an engagement starts and ends

An engagement begins when you and Amanda Emerdinger sign a written engagement letter that sets out the scope, fees, and timeline for the work. Use of this website, completion of an intake form, or initial conversation does not create an engagement. No client preparer relationship is created until the engagement letter is signed and the agreed deposit, if any, is received.

Either party may terminate an engagement in writing. On termination we will return your records, complete any work funded by paid fees, and provide a clear explanation of any unfinished items. Fees for work performed up to the termination date remain due.

What we do not guarantee

We do not guarantee any specific refund amount, tax savings, audit outcome, or representation result. Tax outcomes depend on the facts of each return and on actions taken by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. We commit to accurate, timely, and well documented preparation under Circular 230.
