Step One: IRS Registration
To offer tax preparation services and file returns electronically for compensation, you must have two key numbers: PTIN (Preparer’s Tax Identification Number) and EFIN (Electronic Filing Identification Number). Prestige Tax Office guides you through both processes, making it easy to get set up quickly and stay compliant.
ESTABLISH YOUR CREDIBILITY
PTIN Registration
A PTIN is your IRS-issued identifier as a paid tax preparer. Holding a PTIN confirms your legal authorization to prepare federal returns, demonstrates professionalism, gives clients confidence, and grants access to IRS services.
YOUR KEY TO ELECTRONIC FILING
EFIN Registration
An EFIN allows you to file tax returns electronically. Application requires a background check and fingerprints, there is no fee to apply, and participation is subject to IRS e-file rules. Prestige Tax Office can assist with the EFIN application process after reviewing your compliance status.
Obtaining an EFIN is a critical step for any professional tax preparer looking to run an efficient, modern business. With an approved EFIN, you can transmit returns securely, reduce paperwork, and deliver faster refunds for your clients. Our team ensures you meet all IRS requirements and guides you through each step so you can focus on growing your business instead of navigating complex regulations.
