Tax Pros: Become an authorized e-file provider in three steps

Tax professionals must become an authorized e-file provider to file their clients' federal tax returns electronically. The process is as easy as 1-2-3. E-filing is the most secure and accurate way to file returns, and it saves time.

How to apply
Tax pros can complete and submit an authorized e-file provider application online with IRS.gov. They can complete the application at their own pace, save their progress and return to it later.
To complete the application, tax pros should:

  • Sign into an existing account or create a new account with the e-Services e-file application
  • Fill out identification information for their firm
  • Enter information about each principal and responsible official in their organization
  • Choose the e-file provider option
  • Select "Electronic Return Originator" if they are return preparers who want to offer e-file to their clients
  • Enter their current professional status information such as whether the principal or responsible official is certified or licensed

Get fingerprinted
If the applicant isn't already certified or licensed, they must schedule an appointment with the IRS-authorized vendor for fingerprinting. The scheduling link is on the e-file application summary page. There is no charge for this service.

Pass a suitability check
After the IRS receives the application and required information, the agency will conduct a suitability check which may include a:

  • Credit check
  • Tax compliance check
  • Criminal background check
  • Check for prior non-compliance with IRS e-file requirements

It can take up to 45 days from the date of submission for the IRS to approve an application. Once an application is approved, the IRS sends an acceptance letter in the mail with the preparer's Electronic Filing Identification number.

Enhanced tax incentives for Qualified Opportunity Zone investments in rural areas

Recent changes to Qualified Opportunity Zones enhance tax incentives for taxpayers who invest in rural areas. Investments in QOZs ultimately help improve economic growth and job creation in these communities. Under the One, Big, Beautiful Bill, there are two important changes.

What's new for Qualified Opportunity Zones

  • A rural area is now defined as any area other than a city or town with a population greater than 50,000, and any urbanized area contiguous and adjacent to a city or town with a population greater than 50,000. This definition applies to States, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
  • The substantial improvement threshold for improvements to property located in a QOZ that is comprised entirely of a rural area, has been modified. As of July 4, 2025, the substantial improvement threshold for required additions to the basis for property located in these QOZs was reduced from 100 percent to 50 percent.

There are currently 8,764 QOZs in the U.S., many of which have experienced a lack of investment for decades. Notice 2025-50 identified 3,309 of those QOZs as a rural area.

Reminder: Review your IRS e-file Application to ensure the information on the application is current.

Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation states that you must revise your e-file application within 30 days of any change. Providers must review and update their IRS e-file application information via e-services.

Update your application with changes to:

  • Principals
  • Responsible Officials
  • Personal Credential
  • Address
  • Phone numbers
  • Uniform Resource Locator (URL) information

Some updates may require you to re-submit the application. If the Application Status, located in the upper right-hand corner of the summary page, reads "Resubmission Required", the application must be re-submitted.

The IRS can inactivate your Authorized IRS e-file Provider status if we receive undeliverable mail or are unable to contact you.
