Confidentiality is fundamental to our service. In full compliance with Internal Revenue Code §7216 (prohibiting unauthorized disclosure or use of tax return information by tax preparers) and AICPA confidentiality standards, every Sagedoer virtual assistant and project manager signs legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). We enforce clean-desk InfoSec protocols: team members access your tax software and document management portals via role-based credentials managed in 1Password or Bitwarden with mandatory 2FA. Working files reside exclusively within your client's authorized cloud infrastructure (ShareFile, SmartVault, Microsoft 365) with zero unauthorized local persistence on remote endpoints.

Our virtual assistants do not sign tax returns as paid preparers, provide legal or tax advice, or make final tax positions. Instead, they handle the heavy operational scaffolding: gathering brokerage statements, verifying date-of-gift mean stock prices, organizing Crummey notice tracking sheets, auditing appraisal reports against adequate disclosure checklists, compiling carryover basis workpapers, and populating draft input screens inside CCH Axcess, UltraTax, or Lacerte. All final tax determinations, elections, and Form 709 return sign-offs remain 100% under your professional supervision.

Yes. Our tax operations assistants understand the structure of IRS Form 709 (United States Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax Return)—including Schedule A (Computation of Taxable Gifts, Parts 1, 2, and 3), Schedule B (Gifts from Prior Periods), Schedule C (Deceased Spousal Unused Exclusion [DSUE] Amount), and Schedule D (Computation of Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax). They are proficient across major professional tax platforms including CCH Axcess / ProSystem fx, Thomson Reuters UltraTax CS, Intuit Lacerte / ProConnect, and secure delivery platforms like SafeSend Returns.

You never have to manage or train your virtual assistant directly. Your dedicated Project Manager serves as your operational tax team lead. You supply high-level directives (e.g., "Prepare Form 709 input schedules for the Miller Family Trust, calculate date-of-gift stock values for the 6 transfer dates, verify spousal consent signatures, and assemble the appraisal adequate disclosure binder by Thursday"), and your PM turns that into structured checklists, cross-checks calculation formulas, audits document attachments, and delivers a completed review package—100% free of charge.

Gift tax practices naturally experience severe deadline spikes—specifically leading up to the April 15 filing date and the October 15 extension deadline (under Form 8868 / 4868). Because Sagedoer maintains a deep bench of pre-vetted tax and accounting specialists, you can seamlessly scale between part-time (20 hrs/week) and full-time (40 hrs/week) or activate secondary sprint assistants on demand with zero long-term commitments, onboarding charges, or cancellation penalties.
