required number of e-filed returns per year

[DonB]

What is the number of e-filed returns required to keep an EFIN active?

Thanks in advance--

I'm not aware of anything that would cause an EFIN to become inactive. I could be wrong though.

However, I suspect with the Identity Theft problem, they may inactivate the EFIN if it is not used at all.

Publication 3112 indicates "However, if a Provider does not e-file returns for two consecutive years, the IRS will notify the Provider that it will inactivate its EFIN. The IRS may reactivate a Provider if the Provider replies within sixty days and requests reactivation. Otherwise, the Provider will have to complete and submit a new application."
