    Hi Loreckea,

    If you are paid to prepare a tax return, you'll include your PTIN.

    To transmit a tax return as a paid preparer in FreeTaxUSA you need an EFIN, Electronic Filing Identification Number. With a verified EFIN you can electronically submit as many client tax returns as you want in FreeTaxUSA. Without it, you are very limited on submissions.

    Please see this 2024 FreeTaxUSA Community thread on this topic you may find helpful to read.
