INTUIT TERMS OF SERVICE FOR TURBOTAX ONLINE TAX PREPARATION SERVICES - TAX YEAR 2023

SECTION A TERMS

Introduction and Overview

Thank you for choosing Intuit. We provide a platform (the “Platform”) that encompasses (1) a variety of services, including TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Credit Karma (each, a “Service”); and (2) installable software (including our desktop and mobile applications), any accompanying documentation, and any updates to such software or documentation (collectively, “Software”).

Intuit Consumer Group LLC, along with any parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or related companies (including those listed here and at https://www.intuit.com/legal/intuit-group-companies/) are referred to in these provisions as “Intuit Group Companies” or simply “Intuit” or “us.”

When you use the Platform, you enter into a binding contract with us. Each section of the agreement begins with an italicized annotation that is intended to help you navigate the agreement. The annotations do not completely summarize the agreement, though, and you should read each section carefully and in full. We’ve also bolded a few areas that talk about important legal rights, and you should be sure to read those sections carefully. These provisions in Section A apply to the Platform generally and are separate from the provisions in Section B which include additional provisions for your use of specific Intuit Software or Services.

If you are an individual acting on your company’s or client’s behalf, you accept these provisions on their behalf and the term “you” will refer to you, your company, or your client.

Agreement to These Terms

You need to agree to these terms to use our Platform. By using the Platform, you are instructing us to share your data across our Platform for marketing, eligibility, and other purposes described in our Global Privacy Statement , consistent with applicable law. This data may include credit information and other information we obtain from
third parties.

To access and/or use the Platform, you acknowledge and agree:

To the terms and conditions of this agreement (“Agreement”), which includes:

Intuit’s Global Privacy Statement;

The current version of the terms set out in Section A and Section B; and

Any additional provisions and conditions provided separately to you for your use of the Platform, which may include terms and conditions from third parties (which we refer to as “Additional Terms”)

You are at least 18 years of age;

You are capable of forming a binding contract with Intuit;

You are not a person based in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk (“DNA”), and Luhansk (“LNR”) regions of the Ukraine or any other territory that is subject to a government embargo or comprehensive sanctions (Russia), or are not otherwise prohibited from using the Platform under the laws and regulations of the United States, or any other applicable jurisdiction; and

You are not included in lists maintained by the United States or other applicable jurisdictions prohibiting transactions maintained by the United States or other applicable jurisdictions prohibiting transactions with and the export of US products to certain entities, people, and jurisdictions.

You understand that by using certain Services, you are providing written instructions in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and other applicable law to permit Intuit Inc. and its affiliated companies to obtain and periodically refresh your credit information and other information about you from third parties for marketing, eligibility, and other purposes described in Intuit's Global Privacy Statement. You understand that your instructions authorize Intuit and its affiliated companies to obtain such information now and periodically in the future for as long as you have a registered Intuit account. We will stop refreshing your credit information when you cancel your account through your account settings.

Your Personal Information

We want to be transparent about how we use personal information and about your rights in our Privacy Statement. You should only provide us with personal information of others if you have received permission to do so.

You agree that Intuit may use and maintain your personal information according to Intuit’s Global Privacy Statement and any changes published by Intuit.

To the extent we allow you to input personal information (as the term is defined under applicable law) about individuals other than yourself, you represent and warrant that you have complied with all applicable laws and received the proper authority or consent to allow us to collect and process such information to operate our business, in accordance with our Global Privacy Statement. You further agree that, other than with respect to information furnished to TurboTax in connection with the preparation of an individual or business tax return, any sharing of personal information among Intuit Group Companies is contemplated as part of the Platform. You agree such sharing does not constitute a “sale” of information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy
Act (CCPA).

Changes

Change happens. When it does happen, we will update this Agreement. If the changes are material, you may need to accept the changes to use the Platform. Similarly, there may be circumstances where we need to update or discontinue elements of, or individual Services or features within, the Platform.

We may modify the provisions of this Agreement at any time. We may notify you of such modifications by posting through the Platform or on our website or by other means. It is important that you review this Agreement whenever we modify it because your continued use of the Platform indicates your agreement to the modifications. We may modify, suspend or discontinue the Platform at any time. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspensions or discontinuance of the Platform.

In some cases, you may need to accept changes to this Agreement to continue using the Platform. If you do not agree to the changes, you may stop using the Platform or terminate your account.

Similarly, we may update the Platform, including with tools, utilities, improvements or third party applications. You agree to receive these updates.

Your Rights to Use the Platform

You can use our Platform for your own personal and lawful use or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

Except as set forth in the Section B terms, you may access and use the Platform for your own internal, lawful and non-commercial purposes only.

Beta Features

We may provide you with access to beta features in the Platform. You are free to use them, but they are provided as-is.

We may include new and/or updated pre-release and trial features in the Platform and such features are provided as-is. Your use of such features is at no additional cost, but you must follow additional rules or restrictions that we may place on their use.

Account

You will provide accurate, up-to-date account information and securely manage such information, including usernames and passwords.

You may need to sign up for an account to use the Platform. We may need to verify your identity and you authorize us to collect information (e.g., date of birth, address) from you to do so (collectively, with all information requested to enable your account, “Account Information”). You will provide accurate, up-to-date Account Information, and we disclaim any liability arising from your failure to do so. Such failure may further limit your ability to use the Platform and affect the Platform's accuracy and effectiveness.

You are responsible for securely managing your Account Information, including any password(s) for the Platform. You will notify us immediately if you believe that your Account Information or device you use to access the Platform has been lost or stolen or that someone is using your account without your permission.

From time to time, we may update the Platform, including with tools, utilities, improvements or third-party applications. You agree to receive these updates.

Payment & Cancellations

Some Services may be free, others may have costs associated. For those with costs, we may charge your payment method for fees or on a subscription basis. You may cancel your subscription at any time (but you may not receive a refund).

We may require payment of fees or a subscription charge for use of the Platform (or certain portions of the Platform) and you agree to pay such fees. If you registered for a trial, you may need to purchase the Platform before the trial ends in order to retain access to any content provided to, or created through, the Platform.

Payments will be billed in U.S. dollars, and your account will be charged upon purchase and when you provide your payment information, unless stated otherwise in applicable payment provisions. If your payment information is not accurate, current, and complete, we may suspend or terminate your account. If you do not notify us of updates to your payment information, we may participate in programs supported by your card provider to try to update your payment information, and you authorize us to continue billing your account with the updated information that we obtain.

You may be charged a subscription fee in advance on an annual basis or other recurring interval disclosed to you prior to your purchase. For annual subscriptions, we will send you a reminder with the then-current subscription fee no less than thirty (30) days and no more than sixty (60) days before your subscription term ends, or otherwise as required by applicable law. Intuit may change the price for recurring subscription fees from time to time with notice to you. Price changes will take effect at the start of the next subscription period following the date of the price change. If you do not agree with the price change, you may unsubscribe prior to the price change going into effect.

Your payment to Intuit will automatically renew at the end of the applicable subscription period but you can cancel a subscription at any time. For subscription-based versions of the Services, subscription cancellations will take effect the day after the last day of the current subscription period. If you cancel in the middle of a subscription period, you will be able to continue to access and use the applicable Service until the end of your subscription period. We do not provide refunds or credits for any cancellations or partial subscription period.

Desktop and Mobile App Use

Desktop and Mobile versions of our Platform may be available for download but you must follow applicable third-party terms when using them.

The Platform may be available through one or more apps for a compatible desktop computer or mobile device. You agree that you are solely responsible for any applicable changes, updates and fees as well as complying with the provisions of your agreement with your telecommunications provider and any third-party mobile app marketplace.

With respect to the applicable Software, you are only granted limited rights to install and use the Software you have downloaded, signed up for a subscription to use, or for which you have purchased a license or acquired a free trial. Intuit reserves all other rights in the applicable Software not granted to you in writing in this Agreement. Conditioned upon your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including all payment obligations), Intuit grants you a personal, limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, revocable license to use the applicable Software only for the period of use provided in the ordering and activation terms (as applicable), as set forth in this Agreement or in Intuit’s then-current product discontinuation policies (as updated from time to time) and only for the purposes described by Intuit for the applicable Software.

You acknowledge and agree that such Software is licensed, not sold.

You may make a single copy of the Software for backup purposes provided that you reproduce on it all copyright and other proprietary notices that are on the original copy of the Software. You will not delete or in any manner alter the copyright, trademark and other proprietary rights notices or markings appearing on the Software as delivered to you.

Advice and Third-Party Products

You may have access to professional advice and third-party products. Any such advice and products are not covered under this Agreement.

We may offer specific functionality in the Platform that provides you with the opportunity to seek professional advice, for example, the ability to speak with a tax expert. Unless specifically disclosed, Intuit is not in the business of providing legal, financial, accounting, tax, health care, insurance, real estate or other professional service or advice, and you should consult with professionals for advice prior to making important decisions in these areas.

The Platform may also include information about (or offers for) third-party services or products or allow you to connect your account to or otherwise access third-party services or products. Intuit does not warrant, and is not responsible for, such third-party services and products or claims made about them, or the actions or inactions of any third party. You must review and comply with any Additional Terms. Intuit may be compensated by those third parties, which could impact whether, how and where the services and products are displayed.

Content and Data

What’s yours remains yours, what’s ours remains ours, but we may use information you provide to improve
our Platform.

You are solely responsible for anything you write, submit, receive, share and store or any data you input into the Platform (collectively, your “Content”). Content includes, but is not limited to, data, information, materials, text, graphics, images, audio, video that are uploaded, transmitted, posted, generated, stored, or otherwise made available through the Platform. You have no obligation to provide any content to the Platform, and you’re free to choose the content that you want to provide. You acknowledge certain functionality in the Platform may be dependent on the provision of Content and may not be available without such Content.

When you use the Platform, you may use or interact with automated features like chatbots, digital assistants, conversational experiences powered by artificial intelligence, or similar technologies (“Chatbots”). Information generated by Chatbots may not be unique.

Intuit Communications

We may contact you from time to time to support your use of the Platform.

In order to properly support and serve you, we occasionally need to reach out and contact you, and may do so in a variety of ways such as via text message, email or messaging functionality in the Platform. We want to provide you options for receiving communications from us, and as such you may opt-in or opt-out of receiving certain types of communications from us or sign up to receive certain kinds of messages from us, depending on the Platform. You will need to notify us of any changes to your contact details to ensure your preferences are updated.

You may provide us with your telephone number as part of your customer record or registration or via other methods. You understand and agree that Intuit may use your telephone number for multi-factor authentication (“MFA”), to confirm your identity and help protect the security of your account. Part of the MFA identity verification process may involve Intuit sending text messages containing security codes to your telephone number. You agree to receive these texts from Intuit containing security codes as part of the MFA process. In addition, you agree that Intuit may send automated text messages and pre-recorded voice messages to the telephone number you provide for other limited purposes, including: providing you with important critical notices regarding your use of the Services, or fulfilling a request made by you through the Services.

Third Party Account Information

Intuit is not responsible for any account information obtained from third parties.

When you direct Intuit to retrieve your account information from third parties, you authorize and permit us to use and store that information you submit through the Platform (such as usernames and passwords) for purposes of providing the Platform and Services to you. You grant Intuit a limited power of attorney to access those accounts and retrieve your account information, without additional notice to you. Intuit will be acting as your agent and will not be acting on behalf of the third party.

Intuit does not review third party account information for accuracy and is not responsible for any issues or expenses resulting from such account information, including any inaccuracy, error, delay, or non-delivery. For clarity, Intuit is not responsible for any payment processing errors or fees arising from inaccurate account information provided by third parties.

Disclaimers

We don’t make any warranties about the Platform except as expressly stated in this Agreement.

The only warranties we make about the Platform are (1) stated in this Agreement, or (2) as provided under applicable laws. The Platform is otherwise provided “as-is,” and we do not make any other warranties about the Platform. Unless required by law, we do not provide implied warranties, such as the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Platform is error-free, secure, or free from any viruses or other harmful components. We also do not provide any warranties with respect to data loss or to the accuracy, reliability, or availability of the Platform, nor of any content (including any Content) or information made available in the Platform. If the exclusions for implied warranties do not apply to you, any implied warranties are limited to sixty (60) days from the date of purchase or delivery of the Platform, whichever is sooner.

Limitation of Liability

Our liability is limited when it comes to issues you may encounter with our Platform.

Other than the rights and responsibilities described in this Agreement and as allowed by applicable law, Intuit won’t be responsible for any losses.

The total aggregate liability of Intuit and our third party providers, licensors, distributors or vendors (“Intuit Parties”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement is limited to the greater of: (1) the fees that you paid to use the relevant Service(s) in the 12 months before the breach or (2) $100.

The Intuit Parties won’t be responsible for the following:

Loss of data, profits, revenues, business opportunities, goodwill or anticipated savings;

Indirect, incidental, or consequential loss;

Punitive damages; or

Damages relating to failures of telecommunications, the internet, electronic communications, corruption, security, viruses, or spyware.

The above limitations apply even if the Intuit Parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This Agreement sets forth your exclusive remedy with respect to the Platform and its use.

If you’re legally exempt from certain responsibilities, including indemnification, then those responsibilities don’t apply to you under this Agreement. For example, the United Nations enjoys certain immunities from legal obligations and this Agreement doesn’t override those immunities.

Indemnity Obligations

If someone sues us because you used the Platform unlawfully or didn’t follow our rules, you will be responsible for any harm to us.

You will indemnify and hold harmless the Intuit Parties for any losses, damages, judgments, fines, costs and expenses (including legal fees) in connection with any claims arising out of or relating to your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Platform or violation of this Agreement. Intuit reserves the right, in its sole discretion and at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any claims. You agree to reasonably cooperate as requested by Intuit in the defense of any claims.

Disputes

In the event we are unable to resolve any dispute through an informal dialogue, a third-party arbitrator or small claims court will help us resolve any disputes we might have, and any disputes will be resolved on an individual basis rather than as a class action.

If you are a U.S. customer:

You and Intuit agree that, except as provided below, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Platform or this Agreement (a “Claim”) will be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

Either you or Intuit can seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied. Either you or Intuit may seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court in your county of residence or the small claims court in closest proximity to your residence, and you may also bring a claim in small claims court in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision, and that you and Intuit are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement and/or the termination of your account.

If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Intuit a written notice of your Claim ("Notice of Claim"). The Notice of Claim to Intuit should be sent in care of our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE 19808. The Notice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address you would like Intuit to use to contact you. If Intuit elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim to your address on file. A Notice of Claim, whether sent by you or by Intuit, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the Claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought.

You and Intuit agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Intuit therefore agree that, after a Notice of Claim is sent but before either you or Intuit commence arbitration or file a Claim in small claims court against the other, we will personally meet, via telephone or videoconference, in a good-faith effort to confer with each other and try to resolve informally any Claim covered by this Agreement. If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference as well, but you agree to fully participate in the conference. Likewise, if Intuit is represented by counsel, its counsel may participate in the conference as well, but Intuit agrees to have a company representative fully participate in the conference. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.

If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after the Notice of Claim is received, you or Intuit may commence an arbitration proceeding by filing a Demand for Arbitration or, alternatively, by filing a Claim in small claims court. You agree that you may not commence any arbitration or file a Claim in small claims court unless you and Intuit are unable to resolve the Claim within sixty (60) days after we receive your completed Notice of Claim and you have made a good faith effort to resolve your claim directly with Intuit during that time. If a Claim qualifies for small claims court, but a party commences an arbitration proceeding, you and Intuit agree that either party may elect instead to have the Claim resolved in small claims court, and upon written notice of a party’s election, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administratively close the arbitration proceeding. Any dispute about whether a Claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court, not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small claims court that the Claim should proceed in arbitration. You may download or copy a form of notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA before a single AAA arbitrator under the AAA’s rules, which are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879, except as modified by this Agreement. Unless Intuit and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of either your residence or of the mailing address you provided in your Notice of Claim.

The arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of California or the state of your residence and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators. The arbitrator will be selected using the following procedure: (a) the AAA will send the parties a list of five candidates meeting this criteria; (b) if the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator from the list, each party shall return its list to the AAA within 10 days, striking up to two candidates, and ranking the remaining candidates in order of preference; (c) the AAA shall appoint as arbitrator the candidate with the highest aggregate ranking; and (d) if for any reason the appointment cannot be made according to this procedure, the AAA may exercise its discretion in appointing the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided below, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision.

The parties agree that an administrative conference with the AAA shall be conducted in each arbitration proceeding, and you and an Intuit company representative shall appear at the administrative conference via telephone. If you fail to appear at the administrative conference, regardless of whether your counsel attends, the AAA will administratively close the arbitration proceeding without prejudice, unless you show good cause as to why you were not able to attend the conference.

The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. Intuit will not seek to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration from you unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). Judgment on any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall not preclude any party to the arbitration from at any time seeking injunctions or other forms of equitable relief in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction including whether a Demand for Arbitration is filed in violation of this Agreement.

Unless you or Intuit seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any Claim asserted by you or Intuit and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or Intuit prevail on a Claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual Claims in arbitration. Before a court of competent jurisdiction issues any public injunctive relief, it shall review the factual findings of the arbitration award on which any injunction would issue with no deference to the arbitrator.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. You are required to pay AAA’s initial filing fee, but Intuit will reimburse you for this filing fee at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeds the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county of residence or in Santa Clara County, California. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your Claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules and Intuit will not reimburse your initial filing fee. The parties agree that the AAA has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under the AAA Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the AAA fees to you or Intuit, and you and Intuit waive any objection to such fee modification.

You and Intuit agree that each may bring Claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Further, if you have elected arbitration, unless both you and Intuit agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate any other person's Claims with your Claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If Intuit believes that any Claim you have filed in arbitration or in court is inconsistent with the limitations in this paragraph, then you agree that Intuit may seek an order from a court determining whether your Claim is within the scope of the Class Action Waiver. If this Class Action Waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Disputes Section shall be null and void.

General Terms (Miscellaneous)

This Agreement, including any Section B terms, is the entire agreement between you and Intuit and replaces all prior understandings, communications, and agreements, oral or written, regarding its subject matter.

Governing Law

The laws of California govern this Agreement and any disputes that may arise.

California law and the Federal Arbitration Act will govern all disputes arising out of or relating to the Platform, this Agreement and any Additional Terms, regardless of conflict of laws rules.

The United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

B. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR TURBOTAX ONLINE TAX PREPARATION SERVICES

The definition of the “Services” includes TurboTax Online (including TurboTax Free Edition, Deluxe, and/or Premium), TurboTax Live Assisted and TurboTax Live Full Service, QuickBooks Live Assisted Tax, powered by TurboTax, QuickBooks Live Full Service Tax powered by TurboTax, the “Powered by TurboTax” tax preparation services available through Credit Karma, and the TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services (as defined below), each of which are versions of the Services. The definition of “Services” does not include tax preparation, filing, or other services provided by an independent tax professional through Intuit TurboTax Verified Pro, which services are provided under a separate agreement.

Your use of the Services provided by Intuit depends on which version of the Services you purchase the right to use (or in the case of free versions of the Services, which version you sign up to use) and is subject to the General Terms of Service above and these Additional Terms and Conditions, both of which govern your use of the Services. These Additional Terms and Conditions shall prevail over any conflict or inconsistency with the General Terms of Service above.

1. LICENSE GRANT AND RESTRICTIONS

1.1 Personal License. Intuit hereby grants you a limited personal license to use the version of the Services for which you have paid Intuit the applicable fee(s) (or, in the case of free versions of the Services, for which you have signed up) and, after proper registration and acceptance of this Agreement, solely to prepare or have prepared your valid 2023 federal and state tax return(s), to file the same electronically after any payment of applicable additional fees and/or to print such federal and state tax return(s); and, in the case of the TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services, to use such services in accordance with Section 2.7 below.

1.2 Number of Accounts and Returns; Joint Filers. You may use certain versions of the Services to self-prepare and electronically file your federal tax return and/or your state tax return. After proper registration and, where required, payment is made, you may file your return electronically or by printing and mailing it to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and/or appropriate state agency. Only one federal return may be filed per account. No more than five (5) accounts and five (5) corresponding federal returns (e.g., for a family of five or for five personal and/or business returns) may be created, purchased and filed using any one email address. You agree that for returns with “married filing jointly” filing status, both spouses are deemed to be customers of Intuit and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Both individuals acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy between the spouses by Intuit concerning the Services, in connection with this Agreement. We shall be at liberty to share with either of you, without prior consent of the other, partial or completed tax returns, tax documents and other information concerning the preparation of your tax return(s).

1.3 No Professional Use. You may not use the Services to prepare tax returns, schedules or worksheets on a professional or commercial basis (i.e., for a preparer's or other fee or consideration).

2. ADDITIONAL SERVICES

2.1 State Services. The term “Services” includes any state version of TurboTax Online software made available through this website, through the TurboTax Live Assisted version of the Services, through the TurboTax Live Full Service version of the Services (but not state versions made available through Intuit TurboTax Verified Pro), through the QuickBooks Live Tax Services and/or through the “Powered by TurboTax” tax preparation services available through Credit Karma, which state version(s) may be subject to additional fees as described on the website.

2.2 Electronic Filing Services.

(a.)     If you choose to file your return electronically, the tax return will be forwarded to Intuit's Electronic Filing Center, where it will be converted to and stored in a standardized format and then transmitted to the applicable federal and/or state tax authority. You are responsible for verifying the status of your return to confirm that it has been received and accepted by the applicable taxing authority and, if necessary, for filing it manually (by mail) in the event that the taxing authority rejects your electronically filed return. You agree to review your tax return for indications of obvious errors before electronically filing or mailing it. To the extent required by applicable law and regulation, Intuit stores and maintains information that you provide to Intuit. Intuit is not required or obligated to provide you with a copy of your tax return if you are using a free version of TurboTax or at any time after October 15 of the applicable tax filing season (unless otherwise included with the version of TurboTax you selected or if required to be provided by law in response to a valid data rights request). In the event your tax return is not accessible from Intuit and you have not downloaded or otherwise retained a copy, you must contact the IRS.

(b.)    The IRS typically begins accepting electronically filed returns in or around mid-January of the applicable tax filing season. If you complete a federal tax return prior to when TurboTax begins accepting and processing electronically filed returns and you want to file it electronically, you will need to log in to TurboTax Online on or after the date Intuit first begins processing electronic filings to complete the electronic filing process. You can file a Tax Year 2023 federal tax return through the Services through October 15, 2024 or as otherwise permitted by the IRS and supported by Intuit. The IRS requires Intuit to notify it, in connection with the electronic filing of your tax return, of certain information about the computer and account from which the return originated (for example, Internet Protocol (“IP”) address) and whether the email address of the person electronically filing the return has been collected. By using this Service to prepare and submit your tax return, you consent to the disclosure to the IRS and any other taxing or revenue authority of all information relating to your access and use of the Electronic Filing Services.

(c.)    Amended Returns – Individual Returns Only. For paid versions of the Services (excluding Business returns), you can file an amended individual tax return for Tax Year 2023 through the Services through October 15, 2024 or as otherwise permitted by the IRS and supported by Intuit. Users of paid individual tax return versions of the Services who have used the Services for preparing the two immediate prior tax years’ returns and who need to file an amended tax return for either of the two immediate prior tax years may, at Intuit’s discretion, be provided a link to a downloadable version of TurboTax desktop software, and tax information may be able to be transferred via your tax data file at no additional cost. For such users of paid versions of the Services, your amended return may need to be completed in the downloadable version of TurboTax desktop software and not in TurboTax Online. You agree to this process for amended individual tax returns and, if you choose to utilize it, you agree you will accept the then-current terms of the downloadable TurboTax desktop End User License Agreement. Filing of amended returns via the Services and/or TurboTax desktop software is not included with free or business versions of
the Service.

(d.)    If you are filing one or more state tax returns, then by using a computer system and software to prepare and transmit return(s) electronically, you consent to the disclosure of all information pertaining to your access and use of the system and software to the state tax authority in which you are filing the returns, as applicable by law, and to the transmission of your tax return(s) to the applicable state tax authority.

(e.)    In the event that you choose to file a federal and/or state tax return on behalf of a business entity, you agree that you are an authorized representative of the business entity-taxpayer and are legally authorized to file on behalf of the entity.

2.3 Pricing.

(a)    Pricing for the various versions of the Services is determined based on which version of the Services you choose and/or the complexity of your tax return and the time when you pay for such version of the Services. Depending on the version you choose, this will occur either when starting your use of the Services, when the preparation of your return is complete, or when your return is otherwise ready to be printed or filed. You understand that Intuit may increase the price of any paid version of the Services as the respective tax filing deadline approaches and you understand and agree that Intuit may increase the price of paid versions of the Services if you have not yet already paid for the Services, including after you have started your return(s) but not yet completed and paid to print and/or efile your return.

(b)    For TurboTax Live Assisted and TurboTax Live Full Service, Intuit may charge you for these Services before the Services are performed or once our expert prepares your return, whether or not you choose to file it. All prices are subject to change without notice. If you chose a version of the Services that doesn’t require you to pay until your return is prepared and ready to file you should confirm whether there have been any changes in pricing for your use of that version of the Services since you first started using the Services, particularly if some time has passed between the date you started your tax return and the date you or Intuit finished preparing it and/or you are ready to pay for and file (or print) it. The price for your use of various part(s) or version(s) of the Services is the published price at the time you pay for such part(s) or version(s) of the Services. Your price will not change once you pay for your use of such part(s) or version(s) of the Services.

2.4 Import Services.

(a)   The Services may include a feature that allows you to import, where applicable, certain information from participating financial institutions, payroll processors, self-employment and independent worker-matching platforms, personal financial software, business financial software such as QuickBooks, and charitable deduction information from sources such as Intuit’s ItsDeductible service. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of all information that is imported.

(b)   The Services also may include functionality designed to read data from images (for example, W-2s, other tax forms or credit cards used for payment) photographed using a mobile device or computer. This functionality is limited to those forms or items that the Services can read. If the form or other item you photograph and submit through the Services is not supported or is otherwise unreadable, you agree to manually enter your data.

(c)   You may be offered the ability to import data from other sources in addition to those above. You may provide us with your authorization and information to allow us to obtain your data from third parties on your behalf to use the Services or any third-party service that you select. You represent that you have the necessary rights to grant us permission to access your accounts with third parties. Third parties are not affiliated with or endorsed or sponsored by us.

2.5 TurboTax Live Assisted. You may choose to purchase the TurboTax Live Assisted version of the Services (including QuickBooks Live Assisted Tax services powered by TurboTax), wherein an Intuit tax expert and/or outsourced tax preparer (together, “Expert(s)”) will assist with preparation of your federal and/or state tax return(s) and/or help prepare your return with your active participation and answer certain questions you may have about your tax return. The Intuit TurboTax Verified Pro tax preparation and filing services are not part of these Services and are governed by a separate agreement. If you choose to use TurboTax Live Assisted versions of the Services, the following additional terms and conditions will apply:

(a) Some tax topics or situations may not be included as part of the Service, which shall be determined in Intuit’s sole discretion. The tax assistance provided to you by the Expert will be based on information you provide. You understand and agree that if you provide incorrect or incomplete information, the assistance provided to you may not be accurate. You agree you are responsible for the overall accuracy of the data in your final tax return(s).

(b) If you request a review of your tax return or if the assistance with your tax return requires significant oversight and actual preparation, or you choose to use the TurboTax Full Service product, an Expert may be obligated under IRS rules to sign your return as the preparer and will then have primary responsibility for the preparation of your return. You are still responsible for the information you provide, for providing all necessary information and documents and for reviewing your return before it is filed to verify its overall completeness and accuracy. You also understand and agree that once you delegate preparation of your tax return to the Expert, you will no longer be able to prepare your tax return yourself using the Services. You will be required to timely provide your Expert with access to all necessary supporting tax documentation (for example, W-2s, 1099s, business financial documents, etc.) as may be requested by the Expert, as well as to provide or enter any other necessary information at your Expert’s request.

(c) Tax returns prepared by or with the assistance of an Expert shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

1. 1. No Tax Planning. Unless otherwise specified explicitly, the Services do not include tax planning services. Your Expert may provide suggestions or guidance or recommend tax savings strategies, however it is up to you to decide whether to follow such suggestions, and it is your sole decision and responsibility whether to act on any recommended actions. Where applicable, we may recommend estimated quarterly tax payment amounts based on your current year tax return and information you provide about future income. You are responsible for deciding whether and how to make such payments and for adjusting such payments if your financial situation changes.
   2. Not All Tax Situations Included. Intuit, in its sole discretion and at any time, may determine that certain tax topics, forms and/or situations are not included as part of the Services and may decline to provide such Services. See Section 14 for some business types that are excluded from TurboTax Live business offerings.
   3. No Legal Advice. The Services do not provide or include any legal or investment advice, tax, estate or investment planning, or other areas of advice other than the federal and state income tax preparation and filing advice included with the Services.
   4. Your Expert. Your engagement with your assigned Expert will conclude with either: (a) your Expert notifying you that your tax returns are ready to file within TurboTax Online; (b) your Expert notifying you that additional information is needed but you fail to respond in a timely way to such requests; (c) your e-filed tax returns being sent and accepted by the taxing authority; or (d) delivery of electronic copies of completed tax returns to you for paper filing (if you are paper filing by mail). Intuit may from time to time, in its sole discretion, need to assign another Expert to assist with your return(s) due to expertise, volume, availability or other circumstances. More than one Expert or other Intuit employee, assistant or contractor may work with your Expert to assist with collecting and reviewing your documents and other information, entering data, scheduling any contact with you and/or reviewing your tax return for accuracy. Intuit and/or its Expert(s) may terminate your engagement, access to, and use of the Services if you do not respond to Experts’ or other Intuit representatives’ requests within a reasonable amount of time.
   5. Information You Provide. We will assist in the preparation of your tax returns solely based on the information you have provided. You will provide this information by uploading relevant documents in an acceptable electronic format and in written responses to your Expert’s questions and/or requests through our secure portal and/or verbally via live preparation sessions with the Expert.
      
      You consent to your sessions with the Expert being monitored and/or recorded (including screen visual) for quality control, internal training and agent assessment purposes. If you choose to use two-way video Services while chatting with an Expert, you understand that you and your background will be visible to us. Use of such Services requires an Intuit Account. You are responsible for ensuring that any other individuals who appear with you on video have provided prior consent. You may not record such video calls without written consent of the Expert. Your Expert may choose to end the call at any time if they believe your conduct violates these Terms.
      
      It is your responsibility to promptly provide all information that we require for the preparation of complete and accurate tax returns. You represent that all information you provide is true and accurate and that you have the right to share the information with Intuit. We have the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel your TurboTax Live Assisted Services if you fail to provide requested information or do not respond to the Expert’s requests in a timely manner. If you provide any of your information within less than 10 days of the tax filing deadline, we may ask you to file an extension. If you decline to file an extension we have the right to decline to provide TurboTax Live Assisted Services to you. Through the TurboTax Live Assisted Services, the preparation of tax returns cannot be relied upon to discover errors, fraud or other irregularities in prior year tax returns or other documents, should any exist. We will not independently audit or otherwise verify the information you submit,although we may ask you for clarification of some of the information.
   6. Record Keeping. You are responsible for maintaining adequate documentation to substantiate the accuracy and completeness of your tax returns. While Intuit will store certain tax records in accordance with IRS and/or state rules, you acknowledge and agree that you must comply with federal and state recordkeeping requirements, including those of the IRS. Intuit has no obligation to store your tax documents other than to the extent required by applicable law and regulation. You agree to hold Intuit harmless from any liability resulting from or due to audit and/or inadequate documentation, including but not limited to additional tax, penalties, interest and professional fees, requirement to file an amended return, or the disallowance of tax deductions.
   7. Approval of Final Tax Returns. You are responsible for the overall accuracy of the data in your final tax return(s). We will not file any tax returns until we receive your payment for the Services and your consent to e-file/submit your tax return(s). Your Expert will notify you when your tax return(s) is/are ready to file, and Intuit may charge you for the Services at that time, regardless of whether you decide to proceed with filing. After payment, you will need to download and carefully review an electronic copy of your completed tax return(s) for accuracy and completeness. If you identify any errors in your tax return during your review (and before you approve), you agree to promptly notify your Expert and work with the Expert to correct the errors. To approve your personal individual tax return, you will electronically sign a completed Form 8879, IRS e-file Signature Authorization and any additional applicable state and local authorization forms required to allow Intuit to electronically file your tax return(s) or to be the preparer of your printed and mailed returns. These forms may use a third party e-signature provider which you agree to use. You agree that with your electronic signature on these forms you represent that you and any joint filer have received a copy of, reviewed and approved the final tax return(s) as complete and accurate. You and any joint filer or spouse also agree that, in the case of a jointly-filed return, you and such joint filer or spouse must both sign Form 8879 to complete the approval process. To approve your business tax return, you will electronically sign a completed Form 8453-S or 8453-PE, IRS e-file Signature Authorization, and any additional applicable state and local authorization forms required to allow Intuit to file your tax return(s). These forms may use a third party e-signature provider which you agree to use. You agree that with your electronic signature on these forms, you represent that you are the designated tax partnership representative or corporate officer with authority to file such return(s), and that you have received a copy of, reviewed, and approved the final tax return(s) as complete and accurate. You, as the designated representative or corporate officer, must sign Form 8453-PE or 8453-S to complete the approval process and you agree to do so.
   8. Electronic Filing. Electronic filing may not be available for certain tax returns or in some states. Intuit’s responsibility with respect to e-filing your tax return(s) is limited to using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the transmission of your tax return(s) to the applicable taxing authority who accepts them. If we cannot electronically transmit your tax return, you agree to manually print and sign the tax return and mail the tax return directly to the respective taxing authority in a timely manner. You will be responsible for postage and mailing of such tax return(s). When paper tax returns are used, the TurboTax Live Assisted Services shall be considered completed when your Expert notifies you that your return(s) are ready to file and access to the final electronic copies of your return(s) (along with any filing-by-mail instructions) are provided to you.
   9. Joint Filers. You agree that for returns with “married filing jointly” filing status, both spouses are deemed to be customers of Intuit and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Both individuals acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy between the spouses by Intuit concerning the Services in connection with this Agreement. We shall be at liberty to share with either of you, without prior consent of the other, partial or completed tax returns, tax documents and other information concerning the preparation of your tax return(s).
   10. Specific Tax Situations. We will use reasonable judgment to resolve questions where a tax law may be unclear, to the extent permitted by professional conduct and applicable law and provided there is substantial authority for doing so. You may request a specific position, provided it is consistent with our understanding of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), tax regulations, Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures, Private Letter Rulings and any related court cases or laws. For tax returns where the Expert is the preparer, if we disagree with the position you request, we may decline to prepare and sign your return, and you may cease use of the Services and complete your tax return(s) yourself using a method or service other than TurboTax Live Assisted.
   11. Foreign Account Reporting. The U.S. imposes reporting requirements with respect to persons having certain direct and indirect interests in a foreign bank account or other foreign financial assets. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements may result in substantial civil and criminal penalties. You are responsible for informing us of all foreign assets, and we may determine that you are not eligible for TurboTax Live Assisted based on your situation with such foreign assets. If we prepare your individual income tax return, you will be responsible for filing any required foreign tax returns or required foreign account reporting, including FBAR Form 114. You, and not Intuit, assume all liability for any penalties associated with the failure to file, or untimely filing, of any of these forms. Intuit may provide you with the option to file your FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) as set forth in Section 2.7, Non-Tax Preparation Services, below.
   12. Change or Termination of Services. Intuit reserves the right to refuse to prepare a tax return for any reason in its sole discretion.

Intuit reserves the right to revoke a delegated tax return for any reason in its sole discretion. TurboTax Live Assisted Services for tax preparation and filing of Tax Year 2023 returns are available through October 15, 2024, and paper filing of any required amended returns by mail, where the Expert is the preparer, are available through November 15, 2024.

   13. Business Tax - Your Business Return. You affirm that you are a designated representative of the business for which the return is being filed and that you are authorized to file on its behalf. You will only provide Intuit with information and data regarding your business, and not the information and data of a third party. If you share another business’s information or data, in an attempt to file a return for a business you aren’t a part of, Intuit has the right to cancel the Expert Engagement and delete any third-party information and data shared.

d. Record Keeping. You are responsible for maintaining adequate documentation to substantiate the accuracy and completeness of your tax returns. While Intuit will store certain tax records in accordance with IRS and/or state rules, you acknowledge and agree that you must comply with federal and state recordkeeping requirements, including those of the IRS. Intuit has no obligation to store your tax documents other than to the extent required by applicable law and regulation. You agree to hold Intuit harmless from any liability resulting from or due to audit and/or inadequate documentation, including but not limited to additional tax, penalties, interest and professional fees, requirement to file an amended return, or the disallowance of tax deductions.

e. Approval of Final Tax Returns. You are responsible for the overall accuracy of the data in your final tax return(s). We will not file any tax returns until we receive your payment for the Services and your consent to e-file/submit your tax return(s). Your Expert will notify you when your tax return is ready to file, and Intuit may charge you for the Services at that time, regardless of whether you decide to proceed with filing. After payment, you will need to download and carefully review an electronic copy of your completed tax return(s) for accuracy and completeness. If you identify any errors in your tax return during your review (and before you approve), you agree to promptly notify your Expert and work with the Expert to correct the errors. To approve your return, you will electronically sign a completed Form 8879, IRS e-file Signature Authorization and any additional applicable state and local authorization forms required to allow Intuit to electronically file your tax return(s). These forms may use a third party e-signature provider which you agree to use. You agree that with your electronic signature on these forms you represent that you and any joint filer have received a copy of, reviewed and approved the final tax return(s) as complete and accurate. You and any joint filer or spouse also agree that, in the case of a jointly-filed return, you and such joint filer or spouse must both sign Form 8879 to complete the approval process. To approve your business tax return, you will electronically sign a completed Form 8453-S or 8453-PE, IRS e-file Signature Authorization, and any additional applicable state and local authorization forms required to allow Intuit to file your tax return(s). These forms may use a third party e-signature provider which you agree to use. You agree that with your electronic signature on these forms, you represent that you are the designated tax partnership representative or corporate officer with authority to file such return(s), and that you have received a copy of, reviewed, and approved the final tax return(s) as complete and accurate. You, as the designated representative or corporate officer, must sign Form 8453-PE or 8453-S to complete the approval process and you agree to do so.

f. Electronic Filing. Electronic filing may not be available for certain tax returns or in some states. Intuit’s responsibility with respect to e-filing your tax return(s) is limited to using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the transmission of your tax return(s) to the applicable taxing authority who accepts them. If we cannot electronically transmit your tax return, you agree to manually print and sign the tax return and mail the tax return directly to the respective taxing authority in a timely manner. You will be responsible for postage and mailing of such tax return(s). When paper tax returns are used, the Services shall be considered completed when your Expert notifies you that your return is ready to file and access to the final electronic copies of your return (along with any filing-by-mail instructions) are provided to you.

g. Joint Filers. You agree that for returns with “married filing jointly” filing status, both spouses are deemed to be customers of Intuit and subject to the terms of this Agreement. Both individuals acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy between the spouses by Intuit concerning the Services, in connection with this Agreement. We shall be at liberty to share with either of you, without prior consent of the other, partial or completed tax returns, tax documents and other information concerning the preparation of your tax return(s).

h. Specific Tax Situations. We will use reasonable judgment to resolve questions where a tax law may be unclear, to the extent permitted by professional conduct and applicable law and provided there is substantial authority for doing so. You may request a specific position, provided it is consistent with our understanding of the IRC, tax regulations, Revenue Rulings, Revenue Procedures, Private Letter Rulings and any related court cases or laws. For TurboTax Full Service, where the Expert is the preparer, if we disagree with the position you request, we may decline to prepare and sign your return and you may cease use of the Services and complete your return(s) yourself using a method or service other than TurboTax Live Full Service.

i. Foreign Account Reporting. The U.S. imposes reporting requirements with respect to persons having certain direct and indirect interests in a foreign bank account or other foreign financial assets. Failure to comply with these reporting requirements may result in substantial civil and criminal penalties. You are responsible for informing us of all foreign assets and we may determine that you are not eligible for TurboTax Live Full Service based on your situation with such foreign assets. If we prepare your individual income tax return, you will be responsible for filing any required foreign tax returns or required foreign account reporting, including FBAR (FinCEN Form 114). You, and not Intuit, assume all liability for any penalties associated with the failure to file, or untimely filing, of any of these forms. Intuit may provide you with the option to file your FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) as set forth in Section 2.7, Non-Tax Preparation Services, below. You understand and agree that your use of such services will be governed by Section 2.7 below and will not be considered a tax preparation service.

j. Change or Termination of Services. Intuit reserves the right to refuse to prepare a tax return for any reason in its sole discretion. Additionally, the availability of TurboTax Live Full Service Experts or their ability to meet your tax filing deadlines is subject to availability, reasonable timing allowed, prompt submission and presentation of documents and your prompt response to inquiries or requests for materials required for your tax return(s). Intuit reserves the right to revoke a delegated tax return for any reason in its sole discretion. TurboTax Live Full Service for tax preparation and filing of Tax Year 2023 returns is available through October 15, 2024, and paper filing of any required amended returns by mail, where the Expert is the preparer, are available through November 15, 2024.

2.7 TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services. With the “TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services” (which may include but are not limited to TurboTax Expense Monitor, TurboTax Investor Center and other trackers, FBAR Services, Tax Home, year-round tax tips, refund estimators, and Specialized Expert consultations), Intuit provides certain Services that do not involve preparation of a tax return, including education, trackers, and organizers to help with year-round tax help and organization. These Services may be made available on or through the TurboTax website or application or other sites, including third-party sites, and their availability to you may depend on whether you use certain other Intuit or TurboTax products. These features and their availability and pricing are subject to change without notice. You understand and agree that the TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services are intended for general information, organizational and non-tax-related purposes. These Services are not, and should not be construed as, legal, investment, credit repair, debt management, tax/retirement planning, or financial advice and they are not intended to serve as tax preparation services. When you are ready to prepare a state or federal tax return, you can use other services, including other TurboTax Services, to prepare and file your return. If you choose to use TurboTax tax preparation Services, certain of the TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services may offer you the ability to import and/or upload certain information to the tax preparation Services for use in preparing your return, including information from your Intuit Account and/or from third parties. If you choose to do so, you are responsible for verifying the accuracy of any such information. As a user of the TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services, you are granted a limited license to use the TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services solely for your own personal use. You understand and agree that Intuit may discontinue these TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services at any time without notice, that the TurboTax Non-Tax Preparation Services are provided on a strictly “as-is” basis, with no warranties or guarantees.

(a) FBAR (Form FinCEN 114) Filing Service: You understand that Intuit may provide you with a self-service FBAR filing solution (“FBAR Service”) that enables you to prepare and file the FBAR (Form FinCEN 114) with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FINCEN). You agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy of the data you enter into the FBAR Service, that Intuit is not responsible for verifying the accuracy of the data you enter, and that Intuit will not attempt to verify such accuracy. You also agree that you are solely responsible for complying with all laws, regulations, and instructions regarding the FBAR filing, including record keeping requirements of each account reported. Intuit may provide you the ability to print a copy of the information you enter to file the FBAR Form, but you understand and agree that Intuit will only provide unformatted data to you upon request, and may not provide an exact copy of the FBAR that gets filed with FINCEN. You further understand that failure to comply with the FBAR filing requirements, including submission of late, incomplete, inaccurate or fraudulent FBARs, may result in penalties and/or criminal liability. You agree and acknowledge that Intuit is and shall not be liable for any such penalties or legal consequences resulting from your use of the FBAR Service, and that you are solely responsible for confirming successful filing with the relevant authority.

3. HELP AND SUPPORT

Intuit may use a variety of methods (e.g., in-product, widgets, Internet, remote access, online community, chat, e-mail, video and phone) to provide technical support and customer service in connection with the Services. The terms and conditions governing the offering of this support, which may require the payment of an additional fee, are subject to change as announced by Intuit from time to time. If you choose to allow an Intuit agent to have remote access to your computer via the Internet to provide help, you should close other browsers or applications or follow other instructions to enable such access.

4. GUARANTEES

(a) TurboTax Accurate Calculation Guarantee – Individual Returns. Intuit works to ensure the accuracy of the calculations on every form prepared using the Services. The TurboTax Accurate Calculation Guarantee is for the lifetime of your 2023 individual tax return, which Intuit defines as seven (7) years from the date you filed it using TurboTax Online. The Guarantee applies only to individual returns filed using TurboTax (excluding business returns), and only if filed with the IRS or, in the case of state returns, the relevant state tax authority, all subject to the terms below:

1. If you are a registered user and you pay an IRS or state penalty and/or interest as levied in a first notice from a tax authority (and not as a result of a payment plan), and such IRS or state penalty and/or interest is due solely to a calculation error on a form prepared and filed using TurboTax Online, and not as a result of, among
   other things:
   • your failure to enter all required information accurately,
   • willful or fraudulent omission or inclusion of information on your tax return,
   • misclassification of information on the tax return,
   • tax law changes made by federal or state governments after your return was filed, or
   • failure to file an amended return to avoid or reduce an applicable penalty/interest after Intuit announced updates or corrections to the TurboTax Online software in time for you to file an amended return,

   then Intuit will reimburse the amount actually paid by you to the IRS or state in penalties and/or interest as levied against you in such first notice – but not any amounts, penalties or interest due, payable or paid by you as a result of a payment plan you may enter into (or have entered into) with such tax authority.

2. This Accurate Calculation Guarantee does not apply to tax forms completed manually by you in which the data is entered directly by you into the form itself in TurboTax, rather than through the use of the in-product TurboTax interview experience and guidance.
3. You are responsible for paying any additional tax liability you may owe and for providing any other information Intuit reasonably requests to validate your claim. A "registered user" is a user from whom Intuit has received the information necessary to permit such person, or an assigned TurboTax expert in the case of TurboTax Live Full Service, to print or electronically file an individual tax return prepared using the TurboTax Online Services and who complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
4. If you believe such a calculation error occurred, you must notify Intuit as soon as you learn of the mistake and in any case (a) no later than thirty (30) days after the penalty or interest is assessed by a tax authority, and (b) no later than seven (7) years after the return was filed, which Intuit defines as the lifetime of the tax return.
5. To initiate a claim under this Guarantee, please contact Intuit using the instructions set forth on our website, as currently published at: https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/submit-claim-turbotax-100-accurate-calculation-100/L88SYklBL_US_en_US?uid=ldaqp1ft . You will be required to provide all tax-related documents, and any other relevant documents or information we reasonably request, either electronically or by First-Class U.S. mail with USPS Tracking (to ensure tracked delivery), to enable Intuit to validate and process your claim. To validate a claim, Intuit may require, among other information, your TurboTax tax data file (particularly if you did not electronically file), a copy of the IRS/state notice and any other documents to support proof of income, credits or deductions. You are responsible for maintaining all information and documents that may be relevant to the accuracy of your tax return. In this regard, you are responsible for keeping Intuit apprised promptly of any change in your email address, mailing address and/or phone number so that you can be notified of such updates or corrections. This guarantee does not apply to business returns.

(b) TurboTax Maximum Refund Guarantee – Individual Returns. The TurboTax Maximum Refund (Tax Savings) Guarantee is for the lifetime of your 2023 individual tax return, which Intuit defines as seven (7) years from the date you filed it using TurboTax Online. The Guarantee applies only to individual returns filed using TurboTax (excluding business returns), and only if filed with the IRS or, in the case of state returns, the relevant state tax authority, all subject to the
terms below:

1. If you are a registered user of TurboTax and use TurboTax for preparation and filing of your 2023 individual return, and later file an amended return using identical information and data but using a tax preparation method other than TurboTax, and you receive a larger refund amount or pay a smaller tax due amount using such alternative method (excluding where any tax law changes made by federal or state governments after your original TurboTax-based return was filed cause a change in refund or tax due), then Intuit will refund to you the applicable purchase price actually paid by you for the preparation and filing of your 2023 federal and/or state individual return using TurboTax Services. TurboTax Free Edition customers are entitled to payment of $30 in such case. To qualify, the larger refund or smaller tax due cannot be attributed to variations in the information or data you used for such alternate tax preparation method or for positions taken by you or your alternate preparer or method that are contrary to the law, or to changes in tax law that occurred after you filed your return using TurboTax.
2. Claims must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the date you receive a larger refund amount or pay a smaller tax due amount and no later than seven (7) years after the return was filed, which Intuit defines as the lifetime of the tax return.
3. To submit a claim, you must provide Intuit with the following documents via first-class U.S. mail and add USPS Tracking to your shipment to ensure tracked delivery:
   1. copy of your TurboTax proof of payment (i.e., sales receipt) and/or shipment packing slip,
   2. copy of your proof of payment for another tax preparation method (unless done manually by you),
   3. copy of your TurboTax data file and return,
   4. copy of the printed and filed tax return from the other tax preparation method; and
   5. a letter summarizing your refund or tax due amount using TurboTax and your refund or tax due amount using another tax preparation method.
      
      You must send all of the foregoing by mail to TurboTax Maximum Refund Guarantee, 2800 E Commerce Center Place, Tucson, AZ 85726-8867. You must maintain separate copies of all submitted items for your records. Claims of non-payment of a refund of your TurboTax purchase price will require photocopy substantiation of all required items. Please allow up to 6 weeks for processing and delivery. If after 8 weeks you have not received your check, contact us via the TurboTax support website. Any materials submitted to Intuit are understood to be non-returnable. You are responsible for maintaining all documents necessary to qualify for the Guarantee.
4. All other fees you may have paid to Intuit for additional services or as add-ons to your Tax Year 2023 return are excluded from this money-back guarantee, including but not limited to electronic filing fees, Audit Defense, Refund Processing Service and technical support fees, if any. This guarantee cannot be combined with the Satisfaction Guarantee below. This guarantee does not apply to business returns.

(c) TurboTax Audit Support Guarantee – Individual Returns.

The Audit Support Guarantee is for the lifetime of your 2023 individual tax return filed with TurboTax, which Intuit defines as seven (7) years from the date you filed it using TurboTax Online.

1. If you are a registered user of TurboTax, use TurboTax for preparation and filing of your individual return(s), and receive an audit letter from the IRS or State Department of Revenue relating to your 2023 TurboTax-filed individual return, then Intuit will provide free audit guidance, limited to what to expect and how to prepare, from a tax professional available to help answer your audit questions regarding your audited returns filed with TurboTax for the current tax year (2023) and the past two tax years of TurboTax individual returns (tax years 2022 and 2021). Audit Support Guarantee is applicable to Federal and State audit letters and/or notices only. We will not be your representative or provide legal advice. Claims for audit support must be submitted within sixty (60) days of the date you received your audit letter and no later than seven (7) years from the date you filed your individual return using TurboTax Online which, for the purposes of this guarantee, Intuit defines as the lifetime of your tax return.
2. To initiate a claim for audit support under this guarantee, please contact Intuit at 1-800-624-9066 or other replacement telephone number Intuit may publish on the TurboTax website from time to time.

3. In the unlikely event we are not able to connect you to one of our tax professionals for audit guidance, then you are entitled to a refund of the applicable purchase price paid by you for the 2023 TurboTax individual federal and/or state tax return preparation and filing under this Agreement. TurboTax Federal Free Edition customers are entitled to payment of $30. Any other fees you may have paid to Intuit for additional services or as add-ons to your Tax Year 2023 return are excluded from this guarantee, including but not limited to electronic filing fees, Audit Defense, Refund Processing Service and technical support fees, if any. Please allow up to 6 weeks for processing and delivery of your refund. If after 8 weeks you have not received your check, contact us at 1-800-4-INTUIT. To validate your claim that we were unable to connect you with a tax professional for audit guidance, and as a precondition of refund payment, Intuit may require your TurboTax data file for the applicable tax year and/or other supporting information such as copies of your printed tax returns. Any materials submitted to Intuit are understood to be non-returnable. You are responsible for maintaining all documents necessary to qualify for the guarantee.
4. This guarantee does not apply to business returns and cannot be combined with the Satisfaction Guarantee below.

(d) TurboTax Satisfaction Guaranteed (or Guaranteed Easy). Some versions of the Services allow you to use the TurboTax Services without charge up to the point you decide to print or electronically file your tax return. You understand and agree that printing or electronically filing your return reflects (a) your satisfaction with Services and (b) your acknowledgement and understanding that you are, at the time of printing or filing, voluntarily paying for the Services, and you therefore waive the right to receive a refund.

(e) TurboTax Accurate Calculation Guarantee – Business Tax Returns. Intuit works to ensure the accuracy of the calculations on every form prepared using the TurboTax Live Business Assisted and TurboTax Live Full Service Business versions of the Services.

If you are a registered user of our TurboTax Live Business Assisted or TurboTax Live Full Service Business versions of the Services and you pay an IRS or state penalty and/or interest, as levied in a first notice from a tax authority, solely because of a calculation error on a form prepared using such versions of the Services, and not as a result of, among other things:

• your failure to enter all required information accurately,
• willful or fraudulent omission or inclusion of information on your tax return,
• misclassification of information on the tax return,
• tax law changes made by federal or state governments after your return was filed, or
• failure to file an amended return to avoid or reduce an applicable penalty/interest after Intuit announced updates or corrections to the TurboTax Live Business Assisted or TurboTax Live Full Service Business versions of the Services in time for you to file an amended return,

then Intuit will pay you in the amount of the IRS or state penalty and/or interest paid by you to the IRS or state. In this regard, you are responsible for keeping Intuit apprised promptly of any change in your email address, mailing address and/or phone number so that you can be notified of such updates or corrections.

This business version of the Accurate Calculation Guarantee does not apply to tax forms completed manually by you in which the data is entered directly by you into the form itself in TurboTax, rather than through the use of the in-product TurboTax interview experience and Expert guidance and/or entry of information by the Expert.

You are responsible for paying any additional tax liability you may owe and providing any other information Intuit reasonably requests to validate your claim. A "registered user" for purposes of this Guarantee is a user from whom Intuit has received the information necessary to permit such person or Intuit’s Expert to print or electronically file a tax return prepared using the TurboTax Live Business Assisted or TurboTax Live Full Service Business versions of the Services and who complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

If you believe such a calculation error occurred, you must notify Intuit as soon as you learn of the alleged error, and in no event later than: (a) thirty (30) days after the penalty or interest is assessed; and (b) seven years from the date the business return was first filed. Send by mail to TurboTax Live Business Assisted and TurboTax Live Full Service Business Accurate Calculation Guarantee, 2800 E Commerce Center Place, Tucson, AZ 85726-8867. Intuit will then contact you promptly to resolve the issue. To validate the claim, Intuit may require a copy of your tax return as originally filed and other related documents (particularly if you did not electronically file), a copy of the IRS/state notice and any other documents to support the originally stated income, credits or deductions present on the business return.

If you are a registered user of the TurboTax Live Business Assisted or TurboTax Live Full Service Business versions of the Services, use such versions of the Services for preparation and filing of your business return(s), and receive an audit letter from the IRS or State Department of Revenue relating to your current year business return, then Intuit will provide free audit guidance (limited to what to expect and how to prepare) from a tax professional available to help answer your audit questions regarding your audited business return filed with TurboTax Live Business Assisted or TurboTax Live Full Service Business for the current 2023 tax year. This business version of the Audit Support Guarantee is applicable to Federal and State audit letters and/or notices. We will not be your representative or provide legal advice.

Any other fees you may have paid to Intuit for additional services or as add-ons to your Tax Year 2023 business tax return are excluded, including but not limited to electronic filing fees, Audit Defense, Refund Processing Service and technical support fees, if any. Please allow up to 6 weeks for processing and delivery of your refund. If after 8 weeks you have not received your check, contact us at 1-800-4-INTUIT.

1. If you are a registered user of TurboTax Live Assisted or TurboTax Live Full Service and you pay an IRS or state penalty and/or interest as levied in a first notice from a tax authority (and not as a result of a payment plan), and such IRS or state penalty and/or interest is due solely to an error the Expert made while preparing your return, providing topic-specific tax advice, a section review or on a form signed by the Expert and not as a result of, among other things:
   • your failure to provide all required information and do so accurately,
   • willful or fraudulent omission or inclusion of information for your tax return, or misrepresentation of your tax information,
   • tax law changes made by federal or state governments after your return was filed,
   • failure to file your tax return on time or to take other action requested by the Expert, or

2. You are responsible for paying any additional tax liability you may owe and for providing any other information Intuit reasonably requests to validate your claim. A "registered user" is a user of TurboTax Live Assisted or TurboTax Live Full Service from whom Intuit has received the information necessary to permit such person, or an assigned TurboTax expert in the case of TurboTax Live Full Service, to print or electronically file a tax return prepared using the TurboTax Online Services and who complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

h. TurboTax Live Full Service Guarantee - Individual and Business. If you use TurboTax Live Full Service (Individual or Business; Full Service only, not Assisted), your tax expert will only sign and file your return if they believe it is 100% correct based on the information you provide and that you are getting your best outcome possible. If you get a larger refund or smaller tax due by filing an amended return with another tax preparer, we'll refund the applicable federal and/or state purchase price you paid. Additionally, if you pay an IRS or state penalty or interest because of an error that a TurboTax Full Service Expert made while acting as the paid preparer for your return, we'll pay you the penalty and interest as set out below.

If you are a registered user of TurboTax Live Full Service and you pay an IRS or state penalty and/or interest as levied in a first notice from a tax authority (and not as a result of a payment plan), and such IRS or state penalty and/or interest is due solely to an error the Expert made while preparing your return, providing topic-specific tax advice, a section review or on a form signed by the Expert and not as a result of, among other things:

• your failure to provide all required information and do so accurately,
• willful or fraudulent omission or inclusion of information for your tax return, or misrepresentation of your
  tax information,
• tax law changes made by federal or state governments after your return was filed,
• failure to file your tax return on time or to take other action requested by the Expert, or
• failure to file an amended return to avoid or reduce an applicable penalty/interest after Intuit informed you of updates or corrections in time for you to file an amended return,

then Intuit will reimburse the amount actually paid by you to the IRS or state in penalties and/or interest as levied against you in such first notice – but not any amounts, penalties, or interest due, payable or paid by you as a result of a payment plan you may enter into (or have entered into) with such tax authority.

You are responsible for paying any additional tax liability you may owe and for providing any other information Intuit reasonably requests to validate your claim. A "registered user" is a user of TurboTax Live Full Service from whom Intuit has received the information necessary to permit an assigned TurboTax Expert to prepare, sign on behalf of the taxpayer, and electronically file a tax return prepared using the TurboTax Full Service, and which registered user complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

If you believe such an error occurred, you must notify Intuit as soon as you learn of the mistake and in no event later than (a) thirty (30) days after the penalty or interest is assessed; and (b) no later than seven (7) years after the return was filed, which Intuit defines as the lifetime of the tax return.

To initiate a claim under this Guarantee, please contact Intuit using the instructions set forth on our website, as currently published at: https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/intuit-account-billing/submit-claim-turbotax-100-accurate-calculation-100/L88SYklBL_US_en_US?uid=ldaqp1ft . You will be required to provide all tax-related documents, and any other relevant documents or information we reasonably request, either electronically or by First-Class U.S. mail with USPS Tracking (to ensure tracked delivery), to enable Intuit to validate and process your claim. To validate a claim Intuit may require, among other documents, a copy of your tax return (particularly if you did not electronically file), a copy of the IRS/state notice and any other documents to support proof of income, credits or deductions. You are responsible for maintaining all information and documents that may be relevant to the accuracy of your tax return. In this regard, you are responsible for keeping Intuit apprised promptly of any change in your email address, mailing address and/or phone number so that you can be notified of such updates or corrections.

This Guarantee cannot be combined with the TurboTax Accurate Calculation Guarantee, the TurboTax Satisfaction Guarantee or the TurboTax 100% Accurate, Expert Approved Guarantee.

For some Third Party Services, we may submit an application on your behalf using your information to assist you in obtaining a benefit provided by a third party. You acknowledge that Intuit does not determine if you receive the benefit and that you are solely responsible for meeting the third party’s requirements and complying with applicable laws and regulations.

You hereby represent that you have the authority to provide the Login Details to Intuit, and you expressly appoint Intuit as your, or the third party who owns the Login Details, agent with limited power of attorney to access any Third Party Services on your behalf.

However, the applicable terms and conditions for the audit defense memberships are accessible on the TurboTax website. Your participation in Third Party Services indicates your acceptance of such terms and conditions for such Third Party Services. If you sign up for a Third Party Service that requires access to your information on an ongoing basis and you subsequently want us to stop making your information available to such third party, you should discontinue use of the Third Party Services.

If you sign up for the Refund Processing Service, which enables you to deduct certain refund processing fees and any applicable tax from the proceeds of your federal and/or state tax refund(s), you authorize Intuit (and a third party processor using banking services of a financial institution) to debit these amounts from your federal and/or state tax refunds, or from the bank account you identify as your Direct Deposit Bank Account in the event that you do not receive a tax refund that is sufficient to pay for them or in the event that your tax refund is delayed. Note that the Refund Processing Service fee is payable to the financial institution whether or not your refund is large enough to cover your TurboTax fees. You should evaluate all Third Party Services based on your own assessment and review of their terms and conditions.
