Acceptance and limits
What is accepted, and what is not
One household, one recipient or jointly filing spouses, one gift/inheritance event, one tax year, and one foreign person or uncomplicated estate. Include up to 3 transfers for that event. Multiple unrelated sources receive separate scopes.
Review is capped at 8 files and 25 substantive pages, plus one completed organizer.
Before payment, The evidence agent confirms the recipient/source status, relationship, dates, currency, transfers, trust/entity involvement, services or repayment expectations, related receipts, foreign accounts, filings, and notices, and states exactly which documents and questions are included. Disclosed aggregation questions cannot be ignored.
- Recipient U.S. status (citizen, green-card holder, or resident; or jointly filing spouses)
- Source status (a foreign individual or an uncomplicated foreign estate, single source group)
- Relationship between recipient and source
- Original receipt date(s) and the applicable filing year
- Original currency and amounts for up to three transfers
- Trust or entity involvement
- Services or repayment expectations
- Other gifts or bequests received in the year (related receipts and intermediaries)
- Foreign accounts and any filings or notices
- The buyer's decision point (ready to proceed or still comparing)
Business receipts, disputed loans, compensation, trusts, entity distributions, multiple source groups, uncertain ownership, and assets requiring valuation are declined or rescoped. Property cases use the separate inherited-property plan. A short fit review decides which path applies before any payment.
Process and proposed timing
How the review works
- 1
Screen the broad facts without sensitive documents
Complete the fit screen and request a scope review below. Describe the source, event, filing year, and amounts. Do not send sensitive records publicly.
- 2
Confirm the written scope, price, and organizer
The evidence agent confirms the accepted question, the proposed $199 fee, the document caps, the exclusions, and timing in your private portal. Accept that written scope before continuing to payment, the event organizer, and secure records upload.
- 3
Extract and reconcile with a reviewer check
The source and recipient identities, asserted nature, transfer dates, currencies, and amounts are extracted where every figure carries a source reference. Chip flags inconsistent dates or descriptions rather than choosing the favorable version.
- 4
One consolidated clarification round
Chip reconciles the receipt event, reviews the applicable U.S. filing questions, and sends one consolidated clarification request. Missing facts are supplied or identified as unresolved rather than guessed.
- 5
Deliver the reviewed plan
Your private portal holds the reviewed plan and structured appendix, with a print option and one factual-correction request within seven calendar days of delivery. Filing is separately scoped.
Proposed service level: 5 business days after scope confirmation and complete required records and clarification answers. Timing is confirmed at acceptance and is not an existing guarantee. Target reviewer effort is 60–80 minutes.
The deliverable
A 3–5-page plan plus a structured appendix
The plan covers the receipt timeline, source and recipient facts, reconciled original-currency amounts and the conversion method to confirm or apply, the accepted U.S. income and information-reporting analysis, any account-reporting questions, missing evidence, the deadlines to confirm, and ordered next actions.
A decision table records the issue, recipient, verified facts, source category, current authority/year, the conclusion or unresolved point, the required record, the owner, and the next step. Receiving funds and later income are recorded separately. The structured appendix connects every material fact to its source; unsupported values stay marked as unresolved rather than shown as zero.
