How to tell software ERO and preparer are the same

[DebiHCPA]

Where do you tell the software that the ERO and Preparer are the same?

That is designated in the Firm/Preparer Info.   Quickest way to get there - use the Quickzoom on any Federal Information Worksheet - Part V.

Not sure why I can't seem to find a checkbook that indicates that they are the same. I entered the Firm information and then the preparer/ERO but there is no where to say that the preparer and the ERO are the same.

In the Firm/Preparer Info... the section there is the Prepare/ERO Information section - you have that all completed ?

It's been a while since I had to do this so I'm trying to remember the steps.

go to Tools >Options >ERO Info          is your information entered there ?

see if this helps

Yes, it is there but then I noticed that the EIN in the ERO sheet is off by one digit. I will see if when I change it, it recognizes that they are the same. I would have thought there would have been a box to check. Having trouble getting Alabama to recognize that they are the same on the efile auth sheet and I can't override the number. I can just leave it blank. I don't think it is a big deal but it would be nice if there was a check box.

Thanks for your help.
