Can I use my EFIN to file hundreds tax returns for free?
I have plan to help to file free tax return for low income people who struggling with Covid-19 impact.
I am an IRS Authothorized e-file Provider.
Can I file tax return for people for free as non-paid preparer?
How many tax return I can e-file for other people for free?
I found the article mentioned that we cannot submit efile for more than 5 return if we are not ERO. However, I am an IRS Authothorized e-file Provider and I have EFIN#.
Is there any limit number of return that I can do efile for free?
Here is the article I refer to:

The IRS imposes a limit of 5 e-mail returns. Preparing greater than 5 returns is viewed by the IRS as being 'a preparer' and requires registration with the IRS. It is NOT a TurboTax limitation, and it does not matter how many TurboTax packages you buy; if you try to e-file more than 5 returns you should consider it an invitation to the IRS to contact you.
NOTE: To prepare more than five e-files, you will need to become an Authorized e-file Provider and register as an ERO (Electronic Returns Originator) with the IRS.
Thanks!
