Disregarded LLC How a first call works
What these pages are, what a free call is, and how an engagement actually starts. Effective 29 September 2026.
Who a first call is with
Services on this site are provided by Steven Palmieri, Dallas, Texas. If you keep reading, you are accepting this page, and leaving is how you decline it. The work this practice will not take is written on the Disclosures page, and those limits travel with these terms.
What you are reading
The pages are general reading for an owner who is holding someone else's form. They are not a reading of your own box, and opening them does not make you a client. Tax and reporting rules move, and they land differently on different facts, so check anything that would change your return before you rely on a paragraph.
A 30-minute call is still just a conversation
The short call on this site creates no engagement, no ongoing duty, and no obligation on either side. We will say what we see in their sentence and what an engagement would involve, including the honest case where you leave their box blank and stop. Work starts when both of us sign a written engagement letter that names the scope and the fee.
Scope, fee, and how either side stops
An engagement is written down before it starts. The fee matches that scope. Anything past that scope gets a price of its own before we begin. A written note from either of us is enough to end the engagement. Work already done is still billed, and the records we were holding are handed back.
What we need from you before a month can close
The reading is only as sturdy as the papers under it. Complete records, a true picture of your own systems, and the choices you make stay on your side of the table. We will tell you when their form and your return disagree. A month that has not closed is not a month we will build on.
The pages as property
The words, layouts, and images belong to the practice that publishes them. Reading, printing, and a quoted line with the practice named are fine. Republishing the site, or feeding it to a product so the product can train, takes written permission.
The site is offered as it stands. Accuracy and uptime are what we aim for on the day you visit. We do not promise a page will never be wrong and we do not promise it will never be down. Nothing here limits a liability the law refuses to limit.
Which court hears a dispute
Texas law governs these terms. If a fight over them has to be filed, Dallas County is where it is filed.
A company name in the form starts no file
Writing the name their form uses tells us which conversation you want. It does not make that company a client and it does not open a file. The return you signed can wait for the call if you would rather talk first. When the honest next step is a signature this practice cannot give, the reply says so and stops, and these terms still cover the conversation you already had. Last year's return face can wait in the drawer until the call asks for it.
