ANY ISSUE CONCERNING THE EXTENT TO WHICH ANY DISPUTE IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, OR ANY DISPUTE CONCERNING THE APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES, INCLUDING ANY CONTENTION THAT ALL OR PART OF THESE PROCEDURES IS INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND RESOLVED BY THE ARBITRATOR.

12. ADDITIONAL TERMS RELATING TO TAX SERVICES

This Section 12 shall apply only to Subscribers and Authorized Users who receive tax preparation services as part of the ANR Resources. Tax preparation services are not currently available to CPAs or CPA Clients.

12.1 The Internal Revenue Service imposes penalties upon taxpayers and preparers for failure to observe due care in reporting for income tax returns. In order to insure an understanding of our mutual responsibilities, we ask all clients for whom returns are prepared to confirm the following arrangements. ANR RESOURCES will prepare your federal and state income tax returns from information which you will furnish to us. We will not audit or otherwise verify the data you submit, although it may be necessary to ask you for clarification of some of the information. It is your responsibility to provide all information required for the preparation of complete and accurate returns. You should retain all original documentation and send only copies of originals, canceled checks, and other information for the basis of income and deductions. These may be necessary to prove the accuracy and completeness of the returns to a taxing authority. You have the final responsibility for the income tax returns; therefore, you should review them carefully before you sign them. The information you are supplying ANR RESOURCES needs to be accurate, and complete to the best of your knowledge, and needs to be supported by records as required by law. Our work in connection with preparations of your income tax returns do not include any procedures designed to discover defalcation, or other irregularities, should any exist. We will render accounting assistance as determined to be necessary for preparation of income tax returns.
12.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no provision in these Terms is or is intended to be construed as a condition of confidentiality within the scope of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “IRC”) section 6011 as implemented through Treasury Regulation 1.6011-4(b)(3)(ii) (without regard to references to payment or receipt of a minimum fee) or under any similar or analogous provisions of the laws of a state or other jurisdiction. In particular, You may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, tax information ANR RESOURCES provides to You, including all materials such as tax opinions, memoranda, or other written tax advice that describes or otherwise relates to, either or both of the tax treatment and tax structure of any transaction on which ANR RESOURCES’s services are provided. You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to inform ANR RESOURCES of any conditions of confidentiality imposed by third party advisors with respect to any transaction on which ANR RESOURCES’s services are requested. Such notification must occur prior to ANR RESOURCES providing any advice with respect to the transaction.
12.3 Treasury regulations under IRC section 6011 require taxpayers to disclose to the IRS their participation in reportable transactions and IRC section 6707A imposes strict penalties for noncompliance with IRC section 6011. IRC section 6111 and the laws of various states require a material advisor with respect to a reportable transaction to make a return containing specified information concerning the transaction to the IRS or a designated state tax authority by a prescribed date, and IRC section 6707 imposes penalties for noncompliance with IRC section 6111. IRC section 6112 and the laws of various states require the material advisor to maintain, and make available to the IRS or designated state tax authority upon request, a list containing prescribed information with respect to persons advised and other information with respect to the reportable transaction, and IRC section 6708 imposes penalties for noncompliance with IRC section 6112. You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to inform ANR RESOURCES if You are required to disclose any transaction covered by the Services as a reportable transaction to the IRS or to any state or other jurisdiction adopting similar or analogous provisions to IRC section 6011. ANR RESOURCES will use commercially reasonable efforts to inform You if ANR RESOURCES provides Your identifying information to the IRS under IRC section 6111 or 6112, or to any state tax authority or other jurisdiction adopting similar or analogous provisions thereto.
12.4 Unless expressly provided for, ANR RESOURCES’s services do not include representing You in the event of a challenge by the IRS or other tax or revenue authorities.
12.5 In rendering tax advice, ANR RESOURCES may consider, for example, the applicable provisions of the IRC, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended, and the relevant state, local and foreign statutes, the regulations thereunder, income tax treaties, and judicial and administrative interpretations, thereof. These authorities are subject to change, retroactively or prospectively, and any such changes could affect the validity of ANR RESOURCES’s advice.
12.6 Tax Return Standards: We apply elevated standards in preparing tax returns and providing tax advice. These standards are dependent on certain characteristics of the entity to which our services will be directed as follows:
12.6.1 For U.S. public companies or “large private entities” (i.e., private entities with prior year gross revenues of $300 million or more): We must be able to determine that (1) there is “substantial authority” for an undisclosed return position (i.e., the weight of authorities in support of a position is substantial in relation to the weight of authorities in opposition to the position) and (2) a disclosed return position has at least a “realistic possibility” of being sustained on its merits. The laws of some states (e.g., New York) also may impose more stringent return preparation standards for state tax returns. For positions pertaining to a “Tax Shelter” (as defined in IRC §6662(d)(2)(C)(ii)) or a “reportable transaction” with a significant purpose of tax avoidance, the return positions must be at least “more likely than not” to be sustained on the merits; if the taxpayer is advised regarding potential taxpayer penalties, ere must be “substantial authority” for our advice.
12.6.2 For “individuals or other private entities” (i.e., entities that do not fall within the definitions above as a U.S. public company or large private entity): The return position must be at least “more likely than not” to be sustained on the merits.
12.6.3 If a return position relates to a transaction that is a “principal purpose transaction,” we must arrive at a “should” confidence level with respect to the position.
12.6.4 We will not render any advice with respect to a federal or state “listed transaction” or any transaction that is substantially similar to a federal or state “listed transaction.” In determining whether a return position or tax advice meets the appropriate standard, we will not take into account the possibility that a tax return will not be audited, that an issue will not be raised on audit, or that an issue will be settled. We will inform you as soon as possible if We determine circumstances exist that prevent us from completing the tax return under these standards.
12.7 Electronic Filing: We will electronically file the returns and extensions we prepare for You that are subject to tax authority mandates. The filing instructions that We provide to you will indicate the returns and extensions that We have electronically filed on Your behalf, if any, and will provide instructions and filing copies for your paper filing of the returns and extensions that were not electronically filed. The ANR RESOURCES electronic filing identification number (EFIN) will be included in certain e-filing documentation we will provide to you for the returns e-filed using ANR RESOURCES-licensed software. The ANR RESOURCES EFIN is proprietary to ANR RESOURCES and You are not authorized to use the ANR RESOURCES EFIN for any purpose. If You do not wish to have ANR RESOURCES electronically file Your returns, You must inform us in writing.
12.8 Written Advice: Written advice provided to you in connection with the ANR Resources will be based on facts, representations, assumptions, and other information you provide to us, the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of which are critical factors in our ability to timely and accurately complete the ANR Resources. Unless you request and we agree under a separate writing (a newly issued engagement letter) after our advice has been issued in final form to you, ANR RESOURCES will not update our advice to take into account your updating the facts you provide to us through your discovery of new or additional facts, or your updating any information that may have formed the basis of any assumptions we made in developing our advice. In rendering advice, we will consider tax authorities that are subject to change, retroactively and/or prospectively, and any such changes could affect the advice we issue to you.
