Go Paperless With Intuit Link Engagement Letters

Read the Article

You know you need to do it. And, every year you dread it. Time to send engagement letters to tax clients. It’s likely you’re required to send engagement letters by your professional liability insurance policy, so it’s not a question of whether you need to send them. And, you understand why.

Engagement letters protect you by making your responsibilities clear to clients and acting as a contract between you and the client. According to the North American Professional Liability Insurance Agency LLC (NAPLIA), individual tax engagements represent the majority of claims reported by leading CPA liability carriers. Yet, tax engagements are where engagement letters are least used.1
