Hello. I might have thought this inappropriate if an IRS agent herself did not suggest it. It has been 67 days since my application was submitted for an EFIN. I've called and called and checked daily for months now. I was told that they had sent a letter telling me they needed an additional 60 days past the initial 45. Obviously this is hopeless for this season. I have not received the letter even though it was sent almost 2 weeks ago.

In any case, I'm seeing third party efilers willing to share their EFIN. Well, actually I only found one. What do you guys think about this as a temporary solution? Is this shady? Thanks in advance.
