That should help you get started.

Those both need to be applied for through IRS.  Clocks a ticking, it takes 45 days in a normal year to get an EFIN issued (unless IRS already has your fingerprints on file), right now...whew, you may have it before tax season ends.

The PTIN should only take about 5 minutes. What kind of help do you think you need?

What you asked is for a Professional tax Preparer to be able to work on clients' returns. You don't need all of this for your own return.

You seem to be lost on the internet.

You’ve come to a Peer User community for Intuit Tax Preparation products supporting tax preparation professionals, and you may be looking for support as an individual taxpayer. Please visit the TurboTax Help site for support.

And there are other programs and sites, such as Free File might meet your needs.
