Taxes are easier to understand when you can see the map behind the software. The Tax Filing Workshop is now open with two complete starting courses: • Course 0 - Your Tax Filing Roadmap: organize your tax file, track missing documents, find the workshop path that matches your year, and avoid common filing-process mistakes. • Course 1 - Understanding Form 1040: follow income through AGI, deductions, tax, credits, payments, and the final refund or amount owed. Members also receive five printable tools, including the one-page Core Form 1040 Flow Map and the Return Story Review Worksheet. Start with Course 0 even if you have already filed before. It is short, free, and gives you the process used throughout the workshop. Then move into Course 1 when you are ready to read the return behind the software interview. Course 2 and later lessons will resume as the member community grows. The current courses stand on their own and do not require you to wait for later material. Privacy reminder: never post an unredacted tax return, taxpayer ID, IP PIN, bank information, signature, or account credential in the community. Tax Filing Workshop provides general education to help members organize for and understand the filing process. It does not teach, direct, prepare, review, approve, or verify a return. Before making tax or legal decisions, consult a qualified tax professional, attorney, or other appropriate licensed professional who can review your complete facts. You are responsible for any return you file, whether you file independently or engage a professional. Membership does not create a professional-client or attorney-client relationship.

IS THIS TAX-RETURN PREPARATION? No. The workshop provides general education and organizational tools. It does not teach, direct, supervise, prepare, complete, review, approve, or verify an individual member's return. It does not tell a member what to enter, claim, omit, sign, submit, or file. DOES THE WORKSHOP TEACH ME HOW TO PREPARE MY OWN RETURN? No. It helps you understand general concepts and become better organized for the filing process. You may decide to file independently or work with a qualified tax professional, but the workshop does not make that decision or instruct you how to prepare your return. Before making tax or legal decisions, consult a qualified tax professional, attorney, or other appropriate licensed professional who can review your complete facts. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A RETURN I FILE? You are responsible for the information submitted on any return you file, whether you file independently or use a preparer. Workshop content, examples, community posts, and downloads do not approve or verify a return. DOES MEMBERSHIP CREATE A PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH BLUE CIRCLE TAX CONSULTANTS LLC? No. Membership and community participation do not create a professional-client, accountant-client, or attorney-client relationship. Any professional tax service from Blue Circle Tax Consultants LLC requires a separate written engagement agreement. IS THE MVP FEDERAL OR STATE-SPECIFIC? Federal first. State modules are separate post-launch additions, with Oregon likely among the first. DOES THE BASE MEMBERSHIP TEACH BUSINESS ENTITY RETURNS? No. The base membership covers individual Form 1040 and Schedule C education. Recipient-side K-1 awareness may be included. Preparation of Forms 1065, 1120-S, 1120, and 1041 belongs in separate future premium products. DOES BLUE CIRCLE TAX CONSULTANTS PROVIDE BOOKKEEPING OR PAYROLL THROUGH THIS MEMBERSHIP? No. Educational content may discuss recordkeeping and payroll-related tax concepts, but the workshop does not offer bookkeeping or payroll services.

1. Protect your private information. Never post unredacted tax returns, taxpayer IDs, IP PINs, bank details, birth dates, signatures, account credentials, or full addresses. 2. Ask general, sanitized questions. Use hypothetical names and rounded numbers when possible. 3. Do not ask members or moderators to prepare, complete, review, approve, verify, or tell you what to enter on your return. 4. Be respectful. Explain disagreement with sources and reasoning, not personal attacks. 5. Do not promote abusive tax schemes, unsupported refund claims, or “guaranteed” tax outcomes. 6. Do not solicit members or promote unrelated products without permission. 7. Follow professional-help stop points. Some questions cannot be answered safely without a complete private review. 8.
