ENGAGEMENT LETTER This letter is to confirm and specify the terms of our engagement with you for any services provided to you from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 and to clarify the nature and extent of the services we will provide. In order to ensure an understanding of our mutual responsibilities, we ask all clients for whom returns are prepared to confirm the following arrangements. Our engagement commences when we beginning providing any of our services to you and ends when we have completed the service you have engaged us for and it has been delivered to you. Service Guidelines Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. will perform all of our services within the guidelines of the federal and state tax code or other regulatory entities based only upon the information you furnish to us. We reserve the right to ask for additional documentation to support information that is being claimed. Even if we do not ask for additional documentation, you are still responsible for being able to provide the supporting documentation for items claimed in the event of a future audit. Accounting and Bookkeeping Services Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. will perform bookkeeping and financial reporting services upon request. These services may include, but are not limited to bank account and loan transaction entries, journal entries, bank reconciliations, and financial report preparation. You are responsible for providing all receipts, logs, statements and any other information upon request when providing these services to you. You will be responsible for maintaining all receipts, logs, and documentation supporting the items in your records that are business expenses, and in some cases personal expenses. You are also responsible for record retention of these items should they be needed in the future. Any financial reports provided to you and/or a third party will be considered unaudited financial reports since we are unable to prepare certified financial audits. Payroll Services Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. will perform payroll services for you upon request. These services may include, but are not limited to payroll processing, payroll tax processing, and payroll report preparation. If we are processing your payroll we will provide you with the deadline for when your payroll information needs to be submitted to us to ensure that your payroll checks will be received in a timely manner. We will also process any payroll tax payments by their respective due dates based on the threshold as set by the Internal Revenue Service or state government agency. Once each calendar year quarter has ended we will prepare any additional payroll reports that will need to be signed and mailed into the respective tax agencies if they have not been electronically submitted. You will be responsible for the mailing of these reports by their due dates. Tax Preparation and Planning Services We will use professional judgment in resolving questions where the tax law is unclear, or where there may be conflicts between the taxing authorities interpretations of the law and other supportable positions. Unless otherwise instructed by you in writing, we will resolve such questions in your favor whenever possible. Any advice you receive from us can be provided in a signed formal tax planner letter as confirmation of our advisement. Any other advisements (i.e. email, verbal, etc.) are not considered formal tax advisements if not in the form of a signed letter. We will provide a complimentary review of any prior year income tax returns that we have not prepared, and inform you of any errors or omissions that we are aware of. With your permission, we will then prepare the amended return at an additional charge if it is necessary to claim additional refunds and/or minimize any penalties and interest you may be assessed as a result of owing additional taxes. In preparing your return we may not audit or verify all the data you submit to us, although it may be necessary to ask for additional documentation. We do have organizers and worksheets available to assist you with gathering all the information that is needed to complete your tax return. You are responsible for preparing or completing any organizers, worksheets, questions or concerns, and any other documents for your appointment that are necessary in the preparation of complete and accurate returns. By

providing this information to us you are stating that this information is accurate and that you have any and all the supporting documentation necessary to support it. If we find that additional information is needed, we will contact you. Before signing your return we will review your tax return with you to go over the income, deductions, and credits. This review is necessary to determine that there are no omissions or misstatements and to clarify any questions or concerns you may have. All taxpayers are required to sign their own return, unless otherwise allowed by law. You have the final responsibility of the tax return, therefore signing of the return is your acceptance of the return being prepared correctly based upon the information provided to us. By signing this engagement letter and your tax return you are agreeing that any and all income has been reported to your tax professional to be included on your return. Additionally, you are signing that you have all necessary documentation to support any deductions that you are claiming, as well as to support your ability to claim any credits that you are eligible for. We will file extensions upon your request, or if we will be unable to complete your return by the due date. We will not file an extension for you just because you did not call us to request an extension and we have not seen you by the required deadline to avoid an extension. Generally, you will need to have all your information at least ten days prior to the filing deadline to ensure your return will be filed on time. However, this does not always guarantee that we can have your return completed by the due date. Extensions do not extend your time to pay your taxes without penalty. As a result, if we have enough information we can estimate what your tax liability will be if you would like to send in an extension payment by the due date of your return. Errors, Omissions, Income Tax Audits, Adjustments, Interest, and Penalties We cannot be aware of all omissions, defalcations, or other irregularities, should any exist for any of the services that we provide to you. In the event you receive a tax adjustment or audit notice you should have it reviewed by Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. to confirm the accuracy of the adjustment and to determine your ability to appeal before paying or signing off on the adjustments. In the event that you or Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. becomes aware of an error or omission on your tax return, payroll records, or accounting records, and an amendment is necessary, we will prepare the appropriate amendments based upon the information and/or supporting documentation provided to us. It will be your responsibility to file the return and pay any additional tax that is due. As the taxpayer, you will be responsible for any additional taxes that result from an amendment or adjustment to your tax return, even if the error is a result of our error. Any penalties and interest that are a result of us omitting or misstating information on your initial return based upon the initial information provided to us will be refunded by Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. for the initial amount charged by the tax authority. Because there are inherent difficulties in recalling or preserving information as the period after engagement decreases, you agree that, notwithstanding the statute of limitations of the State of Minnesota, any claim based on this or any other engagement must be filed within 36 months after the performance of our service, unless you have previously provided us with a written notice of a specific defect in our services that forms the basis of a claim. Record Retention We maintain a hard copy of your return and a copy of any supporting documentation for duration as required by law. Since we may not have a copy of all your records, it is your responsibility to maintain all the documents, logs, canceled checks, supporting documentation, and other data that form the basis of income and deductions. These may be necessary to prove the accuracy and completeness of the returns to a taxing authority. We recommend at minimum that you keep all your records at minimum for four to seven years, or longer depending on the type of document.

Our Fees Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. s fee for our services is based upon several factors. Usually, the most important of these factors include time and labor involved, skill required to perform the services properly, forms being used, and any special circumstances imposed. Any estimates we may provide are based upon the information initially provided to us. Actual fees may vary as circumstances change or as new information is made available. We will make every reasonable effort to provide the services set forth at a reasonable fee. Unless a formal agreement has been reached in advance, all fees and costs for the services provided are due and payable when these items are released from our office. You are personally responsible for the payment of your business returns should the business not pay for these. Should we release your returns or any other information without full payment, a finance charge of 1.5% per month will be assessed on any amount not paid beginning 30 days after the initial billing date, and monthly thereafter when statements are issued each month until your account is brought current. If at any time your balance due exceeds 90 days we will discontinue services until your account is brought current. Returned checks or non-sufficient funds will be charged a $30.00 returned check and rebilling fee. Our engagement for our services ends on December 31, 2019 or upon termination of this engagement by Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc. or you. Should this agreement be terminated prior to completing any of our services you requested, we will prepare a final billing showing the total fees incurred for services rendered. This amount will be due and payable upon presentation and the release of any documents requested from us. Additional Services and Fees Provided IRS or State Representation, Correspondence Resolution, and Research $125 Per Hour Consulting, Withholding Calculation or Mid-Year Tax Review/Plan $125 Per Hour ($25 Min) Tax Return Copies No Supporting Documentation (Except W-2s) $0 Tax Return Copies All Supporting Documentation Provided $20 Accounting and Payroll Services REQUEST QUOTE Acceptance of Engagement Having read and fully understood the engagement letter and having been made aware of the Lindgren Tax & Accounting, Inc.
