E filing as. self prepared

[robertwgittings]

We are trying to e file an Arizona 165 that we self prepared.  We keep getting an error becasue of a lack of EFIN.  Is there a work around?

Menu Efile > Support Tools > Disable efile error.

Note: this is the LC procedure. So, I think there would be a similar procedure in PS.

Arizona doesn't allow Self-Prepared for efile.

So I make myself the preparer.

What do you do about the PTIN number?

[robertwgittings]

Tried it, still looking for a EFIN

[sjrcpa]

Used my PTIN.

Set it up like any other return for which you are the Paid Preparer.

Do Not select Self Prepared.

[robertwgittings]

That is our problem.  We are not paid preparers.  We own the business and do the returns ourselves

Unlike TurboTax, ProConnect requires an EFIN for any e-file return. You can print, but not e-file without an EFIN.
