Accounting & BookkeepingLicensing & Certification4HighTax Preparer$ implied
A tax preparer at a small firm cannot get their EFIN application processed because the IRS help desk will not speak with them, and the partner who could speak with them has no time to call, creating a bottleneck during tax season.
The IRS e-Service help desk refuses to talk to non-partners about EFIN applications, and the partner lacks time to call, so the preparer cannot obtain accurate information or resolve the issue through official channels.
