Please follow the instructions below to submit a copy of your IRS e-file Application Summary (with your EFIN and tracking number) for verification. If you have multiple offices, each location must have a unique EFIN verified.

  4. Enter your EFIN and the tracking number, found at the bottom of your IRS e-file Application Summary.
    Reminder. To obtain a copy of your IRS e-file Application Summary, sign in to your IRS e-Services Account. See the FAQ mentioned previously.
  5. Click Choose File to locate and attach your IRS e-file Application Summary. (PDF is preferred, but JPG, BMP, and PNG files are also accepted.)
  6. Check the box to indicate you are authorized to submit this information, then click Submit.
  7. We will notify you via email if your EFIN information is rejected for any reason, and your verification status will be available in your TaxAct Account by January 4, 2021. EFINs submitted after January 4 will be reviewed within two business days.
