Tax Representation Letter
[Date]
[Accountant/Firm Name]
Dear [Accountant Name],
This letter confirms certain representations we have made to you in connection with your preparation of our [Year] federal and state income tax returns.
Our Representations
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, that: 1. All income received during the tax year has been reported to you, including cash income. 2. All deductions and credits claimed are supported by documentation we can provide if requested. 3. We have disclosed all foreign bank accounts, assets, or income, if applicable, as required by law. 4. We have informed you of all material facts relevant to the preparation of an accurate return. 5. We understand it is our responsibility, not yours, to substantiate deductions if audited.
Reliance
We understand that you have relied on the information and representations we provided in preparing our returns, and that you are not responsible for verifying information we did not disclose.

*This document is provided for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute tax or legal advice. Signing this doesn't shift IRS penalties for an inaccurate return away from the taxpayer — but it does create a clear record that the accountant relied in good faith on the client's own representations, which matters if a dispute over responsibility for an error ever arises.*
