About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Nevada regulates anyone who prepares documents for others — including tax preparers — as a document preparation service under NRS Chapter 240A. Registration with the Secretary of State is conditioned on filing a surety bond, and the bond is a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind your honest, lawful service.

Under NRS 240A.120, you file a surety or cash bond in the penal sum the statute sets. For an individual registrant the amount is $25,000; a business entity employing registrants files a larger bond that scales with the number of registrants. The bond compensates anyone who suffers loss or damage from a registrant’s acts.

It’s a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Nevada with harmed clients as beneficiaries. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Preparers who deal honestly treat the bond as a registration formality.

NRS Chapter 240A (NRS 240A.120)Nevada regulates document preparation services — including tax preparers — under NRS Chapter 240A. NRS 240A.120 conditions registration on a surety or cash bond filed with the Secretary of State, in the penal sum the statute sets: $25,000 for an individual registrant, with larger amounts for business entities scaling with the number of registrants employed.
