Topic: Electronic Filing Payment Methods - Tax Preparer

As a Professional Preparer using the TaxACT Professional software, you can select different options of paying for your electronic filing. We have listed the available options below:

Pay-Per-Return
To pay-per-return please use the instructions below from within your TaxACT program:

Click on Preparer on the menu bar at the top of the program.
Point to Master Information and then click on Preparers.
Click on the Electronic Filing Info tab on the Preparer Information screen.
Enter your "EFIN & Electronic Filing Password" in the appropriate fields.
Enter your "Credit Card Type, Card Number, Expiration Date, and Name Shown on Card" in the appropriate fields.
Enter your "Billing Address, City, State, and Zip Code" in the appropriate fields.

Please Note: This credit card will be used for each e-file that you choose to submit. It will not need to be re-entered on each e-file.

Prepaid E-Filing
To purchase prepaid e-filing, we recommend contacting our Sales line at 1-800-573-4287. The available options are below:

Unlimited Federal or State E-Filing
Purchasing increments of e-filing (available in $10, $25, and $100 increments)

After purchasing the unlimited e-filing or increments on prepaid amounts, please follow the steps listed above (under Pay-Per-Return) through Step 4.

Please Note: The EFIN and Password entered must match what was provided to TaxACT at the time your order was placed.

IMPORTANT: The Unlimited E-Filing begins AFTER the unlimited e-filing has been paid in full. There will be no refunds given for any individual returns filed PRIOR to purchasing the unlimited e-filing.
