Build a reviewable record
Compare equivalent deliverables from written proposals without assigning invented provider ratings.
Define the reporting period and affected owner, entity or property before entering records. For each item, use a source reference that another person can retrieve. Mark assumptions explicitly and assign unresolved items to the person who can supply evidence.
Use the register in a review meeting
Begin with items marked missing or needs review. Confirm whether each affects the decision or merely its timing. Record the question requiring professional judgment rather than selecting a tax outcome from the completion count. Export the register and keep it with the engagement scope and final reviewer response.
Close the loop
After the reviewer responds, retain the source document, written conclusion and implementation responsibility together. Reopen the file if ownership, reporting period, expected transaction or underlying records change.
Your preparation worksheet
Enter a reference to the document, the person who can supply it and the unresolved question. Use file names or locations rather than account numbers or other sensitive information. Entries stay in this page until you close or refresh it. They are not sent to us or saved automatically. Export before leaving.

Mark not applicable only after noting why. A collected record can still require correction. Review the exported file before sharing it with your adviser.
List jurisdictions, entities, transaction facts and the scope of registration and filing work.
Source and review boundaries
Use the following primary guidance to frame the questions. The worksheet organizes facts; it does not replace analysis of the relevant year, ownership, elections or state treatment. Record the applicable period, confirm the source version and retain the preparer's written conclusions with the supporting documents.
