All ProConnect tax returns are purchased for a specific tax-year, meaning the taxable period from January 1 through December 31 (“Tax Year”), and are only accessible for use for such specific Tax Year. Unused tax returns can be used for the specific Tax Year purchased for up to 3 calendar years, so long as User Access is purchased for each calendar year (e.g. unused Tax Year 2026 tax returns may be used for 2027 taxes through December 31, 2030). User Access is required to access functionality in ProConnect services (sold separately). ProConnect Tax returns are credited to the Customer Account Number that purchased them and cannot be transferred to other Intuit accounts.

As of January 1, 2025, ProConnect requires purchase of a separate, single user access license (“User Access”) in order to e-file and print tax returns, and to access other features, including reporting, support, IRS transcripts, Intuit Link, Intuit Tax Advisor, and K-1 delivery. Each User Access license is for a single user log-in and only provides access for the purchased calendar year (e.g., Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2026). A minimum of one User Access license must be purchased together with your tax return bank. User Access can be purchased for additional users, as needed. Firms requiring 10 or more users pay a flat fee of $2,100 for User Access. User Access prices are exempt from discounts and promotions.

The ability to add e-signature fields to all forms and documents, including business forms, is designed to be used at the preparer’s discretion. Per the current IRS Guidelines, electronic signatures are only accepted for the Individual Modules. Please review IRS Publication 4163 and PMTA- 2018-08 for more detail. It is your responsibility to keep updated and compliant on which forms can be used/recognized in connection with federal and state e-file tax returns and authorizations. Additional terms and conditions apply. For more information, please visit https://accountants.intuit.com/intuit-sign/. 

Knowledge-based authentication, also known as KBA, is an identity verification measure that requires end users to establish their identities through the use of specific security questions. The e-signature option is only available to taxpayers e-filing their tax returns through an Electronic Return Originator (ERO), who uses software that provides identity verification and e-signature functionality. To meet e-signature requirements, the ERO must be able to record the taxpayer’s name, social security number, address and date of birth electronically for identity verification purposes. As part of identity verification, the software may create what is known as a “soft inquiry” in the credit reporting industry. A soft inquiry is not a credit check, although it is conducted by a credit reporting company that uses information from the taxpayer’s credit report to generate knowledge-based authentication questions. Typically, the knowledge-based authentication questions address the taxpayer’s personal and financial history. These are usually multiple-choice questions such as the name of their mortgage lender, type of car financed, a former address or phone number. The taxpayer is expected to answer the questions correctly. Taxpayers who cannot complete the identity verification check cannot use e-signature. Ordinarily, knowledge based authentication is not mandatory for envelopes which do not contain Form 8878 or 8879 or their state equivalents.
