I only prepare and file my own and my daughter's tax return. Do I need to get an EFIN?

No EFIN, no e-file using professional tax software.

Thank you but could you please embelish a little bit ? Is there a good reference in the IRS code or regulations or publications that I could read?

I'm sure there is, but I'll let you find it if you are interested. Non-professional tax preparers can use Turdddtoaxxx to e-file but an EFIN is required to file using a professional tax software.

You bought ProSeries Professional to prepare 2 returns?

I'm an old man and don't have any paying clients any more. But I used this software many years ago and it is worth it to me to pay $300 - $400 for the software and the separate fees for preparation. I thought perhaps there was an exclusion from the very complex sign-up procedures that I could avoid. Please let me know a good reference I can read. Also please know that I really do want to file electronically without having to jump through all the EFIN hoops.

Does Intuit just allow me to file electronically without the EFIN number?

I don't believe that you will be able to efile using Pro Series.

Perhaps you can find a preparer in your area that uses Pro Series, which you could take a backup of your tax file after you have it ready, and they could efile it for you.
