Products Affected:

On October 18, 2007, the IRS sent out the following QuickAlert: Authorized IRS e-file providers now provide their own proof of status

"ATTN: Authorized IRS e-file Providers/EROs

The IRS will no longer issue credentials in the form of the annual letters for continued participation in IRS e-file. Instead, you may confirm your status as an Authorized IRS e-file Provider by viewing the summary page of your e-file application online via e-services at IRS.gov.

Go to irs.gov, click on the e-file logo and scroll down to the Tax Professionals link for more information on steps in identifying your Provider status. FAQs are provided for explaining this change further.

Refer to Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation, for important information such as the use of your EFIN and rules and requirements for participation in IRS e-file. Authorized IRS e-file Providers should continue to safeguard and protect the EFIN assigned to their firm.

If you experience difficulties in printing the summary page of your e-file application, you may contact IRS e-help desk, toll free at, 1-866-255-0654, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.(ET).

Thank you for your continued interest in IRS e-file. We are looking forward to working with you.
