If you prepare 3 corps, 5ptrship, several 1041's as required all entities less than 1 million gross or assets am I required to efile these returns. I do efile about 200 regular returns. How do you notify IRS if you want to efile these returns? Thanks

http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/providers/article/0,,id=223832,00.htmlSee if this helps at all. If you are already registered as an ERO with the IRS, then all you need to do is call them and update your profile to include the business and estate type return filings. The next step is to be sure your software company has you setup to electronically file business and individual returns. I do know that the ATX Max package included unlimited e-file for all. If you are using TRX, it does not and there is an additional fee to file the business returns.

All in all, these new requirements cause us to incur additional expenses which we have no choice but to pass them on to our clients.
