Verify your Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) activity and other e-file application information

Attn: Authorized IRS e-file Providers/EROs

Now that filing season is slowing down, this is a good time to review your e-file application information.

Your application information should be updated within 30 days of any business changes, such as names, address, or telephone number. To update the business changes, log into your e-file application through e-services, select your organization and then select the “Firm Information” tab located at the top of the screen. Additional updates can be made on the “Authorized User” tab. Resubmission of the application is required if adding or removing a Principal or Responsible Official.

You should also check your EFIN Status page. To check the EFIN status, log into your e-file application through e-services, select your organization and then select the “EFIN Status” tab located at the top of the screen. Make sure the summary of both the volume and activity of the returns e-filed in the last two years matches your records.

If you have any concerns or if you notice any discrepancies, call the e-help desk at 866-255-0654.

For more frequently asked questions about your EFIN please refer to Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation.
