I am the ERO and need my name as ERO contact to show up on the 8879 for signature to E-File the return.  I have an employee who is the Paid Preparer with a PTIN.  I need his PTIN to be associated with the return and shown on the 1040 tax return at the same time that I am shown as the ERO on the 8879.  

I have gone through threads and the "solutions" for this did not resolve problem.  What can we do?

I want to be compliant as an ERO and ensure the preparer gets credit for the returns prepared by him on his PTIN.
