    Requirement for us to have our EFIN certified

    Has anyone had thier EFIN certified yet? How did it go. It is my understanding that our tax software vendor is now required to certify our EFIN by us sending them a paper copy of the applicaltion way back when we originally applied for an EFIN. This is part of the never ending effort to fight hackers from filing fraudelent tax returns.

    My software company gave me pretty good instructions both for getting the Application Summary and then for uploading it to them. I think the next part is to get a special number that identifies that software on my physical computer that efiles, and I haven't done that part yet.

        Whatever happened to Tax Prep

        How much of our time are we now spending on jumping thru hoops and spending nonbillable administrative time?

        Remember when we could focus on just getting tax returns done and delivered? Tax knowledge and preparation seems to be a dying commodity - nowadays it is all software, administrative juggling. A glance around the room at my last seminar revealed very few faces under the age of 50, and the majority seemed to be over the age of 60.

        In fairness to the IRS, they are pursuing identity theft far more than they are pursuing EIC fraud. There are probably not enough jail cells to hold them all.
