Assemble the engagement fact record and any Form 8300 identity fields
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Fill the firm's client-acceptance checklist from the documents the lawyer supplies, and list any cash receipt over $10,000 with the payer details needed for Form 8300. Leave every incomplete field blank.
- What the lawyer must review
- The checklist records the facts for the Rule 1.16(a) inquiry. It is not a decision to accept the client. For a required Form 8300, the IRS requires the return within 15 days and the payer's identifying information on the form. The lawyer confirms the checklist against the source documents before the file is treated as complete.
