E-file application summary and requirements

Submit your IRS e-file application summary to verify your eligibility for electronic tax filing.
The IRS, state tax agencies, and private companies created the Security Summit partnership to protect taxpayers and tax preparers. This partnership makes it easier to verify tax return preparers and transmitters who use Electronic Filing Identification Numbers (EFINs).
Your provider will need to keep a copy of your e-file application summary.
note
If you're a new customer or you received a new EFIN from the IRS, submit your e-file application summary to Thomson Reuters to file returns electronically.

Obtain your e-file application summary

You'll need to provide a copy of your IRS e-file application summary before you can e-file tax returns. Sign in to your e-services account to get it. This summary shows the application you submitted and the IRS approved for your EFIN number. It lets Thomson Reuters verify that you're eligible to file returns electronically.
Once Thomson Reuters verifies your EFIN, you can file returns electronically. If your firm uses the IRS e-Services program, you can use Thomson Reuters to e-file.
note
Only the person who received the EFIN from the IRS can access the e-file summary. For help with your IRS e-services portal or sign-in issues, call the IRS e-Help Desk at 866-255-0654.
