Using P.O. Box as tax preparer address on returns

ctt0928
Level 1

I am a sole practitioner who works out of my home. I understand that new IRS requirements make you use a physical address for the tax preparer's address and a P.O. Box is not allowed. However, my home address printing on client tax returns is not ideal. Does anyone know of a way to have a P.O. Box print on the returns? (I know I could probably edit the PDF after printing, but that would take a significant amount of time if doing it for all returns.)

ProSeries will only use the address that in on the EFIN.

As you said, the IRS will not accept a P.O. Box for an EFIN.  However, there might be a work-around.  Some places, such as the UPS Store have 'real address' boxes that you may be able to use. (there are probably other similar businesses that do this). 

So you could get a 'real address' box, and use that for your EFIN. Then update the EFIN with Intuit and that address will show up on the tax returns.
