When selling a tax preparation firm or its assets in Illinois, a standard bill of sale is insufficient. You must account for the transfer of hard assets like computers containing sensitive W-2 and 1099 data while adhering to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA). This specialized document ensures that your transfer of ownership includes essential 'as-is' disclaimers to mitigate E&O liability and protects you from potential IRS penalties by clearly defining the scope of transferred client records and equipment.
Under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), if your firm utilized biometric data for timekeeping or client authentication, you must ensure all biometric identifiers are purged or that proper consent is transferred. Your Bill of Sale should include a specific representation regarding data sanitization to prevent future privacy litigation.
Yes. Because tax preparers are governed by Treasury Department Circular 230 and the GLBA, the Bill of Sale must include robust confidentiality and data protection clauses. This protects you from identity theft claims and ensures the buyer acknowledges their duty to protect W-2 and 1099 information according to IRS standards.
Yes, under 740 ILCS 80/1, contracts for the sale of goods over $500 or agreements that cannot be performed within one year must be in writing. A formal Bill of Sale provides the necessary legal evidence to satisfy the Statute of Frauds and prevent disputes over purchase price and asset inclusion.
Your Bill of Sale should include a 'Warranties and Disclaimers' section that specifically addresses E&O liability. It is common practice to state that the buyer is not assuming liability for IRS penalties related to returns filed prior to the closing date, unless specifically negotiated.
