We are trying to e file an Arizona 165 that we self prepared.  We keep getting an error becasue of a lack of EFIN.  Is there a work around?

    That is our problem.  We are not paid preparers.  We own the business and do the returns ourselves


    Unlike TurboTax, ProConnect requires an EFIN for any e-file return. You can print, but not e-file without an EFIN.

    Menu Efile > Support Tools > Disable efile error.

    Note: this is the LC procedure. So, I think there would be a similar procedure in PS.

    Arizona doesn't allow Self-Prepared for efile.

    So I make myself the preparer.

    What do you do about the PTIN number?
