Operating a tax preparation firm in Michigan requires precision beyond simple W-2 and 1099 filings. To protect against E&O liability and IRS penalties, our Michigan-specific employment contract integrates mandatory federal compliance—such as Treasury Department Circular 230 and GLBA data security standards—with state-specific mandates like the Bullard-Plawecki Employee Right to Know Act. This document mitigates risk by clearly defining PTIN requirements, identity theft protocols for client depreciation and deduction records, and non-compete clauses that satisfy the reasonableness standards of MCL 445.774a.
