consent to the disclosure of your tax return information, Federal law may not protect your tax return information from
further use or distribution.
You are not required to complete this form to engage our tax return preparation services. If we obtain your signature on
this form by conditioning our tax return preparation services on your consent, your consent will not be valid. If you agree to
the disclosure of your tax return information, your consent is valid for the amount of time that you specify. If you do not
specify the duration of your consent, your consent is valid for one year from the date of signature.
Terms:
Global Carry Forward of data allows TaxSlayer LLC, the provider of the VITA/TCE tax software, to make your tax return
information available to ANY volunteer site participating in the IRS's VITA/TCE program that you select to prepare a tax
return in the next filing season. This means you will be able to visit any volunteer site using TaxSlayer next year and have
your tax return populate with your current year data, regardless of where you filed your tax return this year. This consent
is valid through November 30, 2025.
The tax return information that will be disclosed includes, but is not limited to, demographic, financial and other personally
identifiable information, about you, your tax return and your sources of income, which was input into the tax preparation
software for the purpose of preparing your tax return. This information includes your name, address, date of birth, phone
number, SSN, filing status, occupation, employer's name and address, and the amounts and sources of income,
deductions and credits that were claimed on, or contained within, your tax return. The tax return information that will be
disclosed also includes the name, SSN, date of birth, and relationship of any dependents that were claimed on your tax
return.
You do not need to provide consent for the VITA/TCE partner preparing your tax return this year. Global Carry Forward
will assist you only if you visit a different VITA or TCE partner next year that uses TaxSlayer. You have the right to receive
a signed copy of this form.
