Using Free Tax USA as a tax preparer
Hi,
I have seen the option to add a PTIN and EFIN but I have a few questions:
How many file returns could I send as a tax preparer?
Is there an extra fee for using the software as a tax preparer?
Thanks for your help!

Greetings Curiara and welcome to the FreeTaxUSA Community!
I used FreeTaxUSA to file the tax returns for some family members, so I added my PTIN, EFIN & EIN since I was paid to prepare the returns. I didn't encounter an extra fee for using the software as a tax preparer.
As for whether or not there is a limit to the number of returns that may be e-filed on behalf of clients, I'm looking into this..

Hi RyanZ!
Thanks for your prompt response.
I remain attentive to your comments. -
If you do not enter paid preparer information in your account (menu path: Misc menu > Paid Preparer), you can only prepare 5 returns with the same email or phone number. If you enter your paid preparer credentials, that limitation should be removed for you.

Hi Rachels!
Great! Thank you!

I thought that you might be interested to know that I reviewed my EFIN activity through E-Services and each of the tax returns that I submitted through FreeTaxUSA are accounted for.

Wonderful! This was really helpful! Now I know how to prepare for next season.
