Agreement for per diem preparer

[HV Ken]

Hello Community,

Sorry I haven't been active here this season - we have had personal problems (two deaths in the family) and we are busy (busiest season ever) and find ourselves somewhat behind in processing our client returns. Which leads me to my post.

Does anyone have an agreement they use to bring on a per diem (ghost) preparer? I am in need of some help and want to bring a person on, but want to protect my client list, etc. Would love some sample agreements to look at that someone else already has in place.

Thanks!

I'm very sorry to hear of your personal losses, Ken.

I'm attaching a copy of just such an agreement as I've signed, that I hope will help. (It was designed by one of most savvy fellow practitioners it's been my privilege to know, but, please note, it uses the term "employee," when, actually, the per diem was an independent contractor.)

Hoping greatly this helps, TaxCPANY

P.S. I *will* get 'upstate,' some day.

Thanks TaxCPANY. Am I missing something? I don't see an attachment?

Think he must have either forgotten to attach it, or he sent it to Ken as a private message.

I would be interested in seeing the agreement. Would it be possible to post the agreement or send it to me at [email protected] ?

Dang it, I am having a hell of a time trying to attach the "rtf" format file of the Agreement! I am about to stumble into it for a THIRD time

Am I categorically wrong to try to send an *.rtf file; should/must I use a different file-format?

Ken, MAMolody, I think I finally got the rtf version emailed to you -- some minutes ago. Please don't hesitate to tell me if it still hasn't worked.

G'night, TaxCPANY
