IRS regulations require that all paid tax return preparers register with the IRS to obtain a preparer tax identification number (PTIN) and an electronic filing identification number (EFIN) as an approved, authorized IRS e-file provider, and meet continuing professional education (CPE) requirements as a tax preparer. As an active CPA in good standing with the Massachusetts Board of Public Accountancy and the New Hampshire Board of Accountancy, I satisfy all IRS requirements.
