Hello, I use ProSeries Professional to file a handful of returns for a fee. I have a company set up and use my SSN as my EIN. I can't e-file my own return. Any ideas?

You need an EFIN.  Or have you successfully filed other returns and can't get your own to efile?

I would not recommend using your SSN as your EIN on the tax returns, as that shows up on prepared tax returns.  If you have a PTIN, you do not need to enter an EIN for the program.

I have an EFIN. I have been doing doing returns with this software for five or six years. This is the first time this error message has popped up. It’s very strange.
