Electronic Filing Services.

(i) If you choose to file your return electronically, the tax return will be forwarded to Hope Technologies LLC's Electronic Filing Servers, where it will be converted to and stored in a standardized format, and then transmitted to the applicable federal and/or state taxing authority. You are responsible for verifying the status of your return to confirm that it has been received and accepted by the applicable taxing authority and, if necessary, for filing it manually in the event that the taxing authority rejects your electronically filed return (e.g., Business Name and EIN don't match). You agree to review your tax return for indications of obvious errors before electronically filing it. To the extent required by applicable law and regulation, Hope Technologies LLC stores and maintains information that you provide to Hope Technologies LLC.

The IRS requires Hope Technologies LLC to notify it, in connection with the electronic filing of your tax return, of the Internet Protocol ("IP") address of the computer from which the return originated and whether the email address of the person electronically filing the return has been collected.
