| Online Tax Center - Terms and
Conditions for Tax Preparers and Payroll Service Providers |
|
- I certify that I am duly authorized to register with DTF as a Master Administrator on behalf of my company, and to act on behalf
of my company with respect to my company’s account maintained in DTF's Online Tax Center.
I further certify that my company is a tax preparation firm or payroll
service provider, which is an Electronic Return Originator (ERO) that has
been approved by the Internal Revenue Service.
- I understand and agree that an Online Tax Center user identification and password will be issued to me for the purpose of enabling
me to conduct Online Tax Center functions with DTF on behalf of my company.
- I understand and agree that I am responsible for keeping the user identification and password confidential, and must not allow any
other person to use them for any reason.
- With the express permission of my company, I am authorized to access all
of my company’s tax information that is currently available on the Online
Tax Center, or will be available in the future, to designate other persons
within my company to have access to my company's tax information maintained
in the Online Tax Center, and to conduct transactions on behalf of my
company using the Center. In the case of my company,
a tax preparation firm or payroll service provider, this includes
access to tax information of clients of the company who have authorized the
company to have access to their tax information online at the Online Tax
Center. I understand and agree that I have an obligation to authenticate any
person designated by me to act under the provisions of this paragraph. It is
also understood and agreed that any person so designated likewise agrees to
be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein, including,
without limitation, the obligation to keep their user identification and
password confidential and to use them only for authorized job-related
activities. I also agree to remove access rights from any person so
designated if a change of circumstances warrant such removal, e.g., if the
person leaves the employ of the company or if their job responsibilities
change such that it is no longer appropriate for the person to have such
access.
- I understand and agree that my company cannot access tax information of
a client through use of the Online Tax Center unless that client has
specifically authorized my company to access their information online,
either by the client’s providing express authorization directly at the
Online Tax Center, or via the client’s providing the company with a signed
Form TR-2000 “Online Tax Center Tax Information Authorization.”
- I understand that access to tax information of clients of my company is
granted by DTF at the company level. I understand and agree that as a Master
Administrator for my company, I have a responsibility to manage access by
employees of the company to both my company’s and client information. I
further agree to supervise employee use of the Online Tax Center system and
to monitor accesses made to ensure that employee access to information is
appropriate, consistent with the access privileges granted each employee by
me.
- My company and I, and any other person within my company duly designated
to have access to the Online Tax Center, are jointly responsible for the
security of the company’s Online Tax Center account. My company, my
designee(s), and I can be held responsible for any access gained and/or any
transactions attempted or completed by any unauthorized person who gains
access to the Online Tax Center system or tax information of clients of my
company as a result of a failure to safeguard our user identifications and
passwords.
- I will immediately report to my company and DTF any information that would lead a reasonable person to believe that an unauthorized person had obtained access to any user identification and password duly authorized pursuant to these Terms and Conditions
- I will not use my user identification and password for personal use. I will only use them for the purpose of Online Tax Center functions and performing job-related activities authorized by my company.
- I will disable my Master Administrator Online Tax Center account if I
leave the employ of my company, or if my job responsibilities change such
that Online Tax Center administration or access is no longer part of my
responsibilities. In such event(s), if an alternate Master Administrator has
not been authorized prior to my removal as Master Administrator, my
company's Online Tax Center account can only be re-enabled for use by the
company’s completion of a new full Online Tax Center registration process by
an owner, officer or authorized employee who will become the new Master
Administrator.
- This agreement will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of New York State.
- I understand that the Online Tax Center web application is being run, in part, through the NYe-Net, which is maintained by the New York
State Office for Technology (OFT), and that as an additional condition for use of this application, I am required to agree to the
"Acceptable Use Policy for Users of NYe-Net Applications." The terms of that policy are available for viewing
here.
- DTF may change these Terms and Conditions of Use at any time. You are
responsible for checking these terms periodically for changes. If you
continue to use the Online Tax Center after we post changes, you are
signifying your acceptance of the new terms.
