Honestly
Other than their own personal tax avoidance, what is the purpose for doing this? It's easy as pie to get the EFIN, is free and doesn't require any special training. If you are doing 25-50 returns, it isn't all that difficult for a tax preparer to come up with expenses to offset all or almost all of that limited income. Just a hunch but I'm guessing he/she was legally barred from the industry for some reason. Otherwise it seems like more work than benefit on their behalf.
