New E-File Rule for Registration of Web Sites with the IRS

Products Affected:

• ProSeries
• ProSeries Express Edition
• ProSeries Basic Edition

As you may know, the Internal Revenue Service sent out a communication regarding a new e-file rule for registration of Web sites and Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that are used to obtain taxpayer information.

For details, please go to http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=172577,00.html on the IRS Web site.

At this time, many ProSeries customers have inquired with the IRS about whether they need to register if they use tax software to prepare and e-file returns.

The IRS has asked us to advise our ProSeries users that you do not need to register Web sites you do not own, such as electronic filing that you do through the Intuit Electronic Filing Center. Additionally, Intuit is in the process of evaluating its obligations to register the URLs for Web sites Intuit owns that the public has access to.

To find answers to more frequently asked questions about this rule, please go to http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=172650,00.html on the IRS Web site.
