IRS RegistrationYou need to get a few things from the IRS before you can legally start handling taxes for compensation. The first thing to acquire is a PTIN or Preparer’s Tax Identification Number. The second is an EFIN or Electronic Filing Identification Number.
Obtaining a PTINEvery tax franchise must obtain a PTIN at irs.gov. The good news is that there is no fee and it can be renewed each year after October 15. Your PTIN must be kept in good standing. If the IRS expects any fraudulent behavior, it will be investigated by the IRS Criminal Investigations Division. If you have a PTIN, and it’s under investigation, we cannot legally help you with your tax preparation services.
Obtaining an EFINThe EFIN is simply a number assigned by the IRS, which allows an accountant to electronically file tax returns. No cost is associated with acquiring an EFIN, but a background check and fingerprints are required.
