I didn't receive EFIN from IRS yet, and I purchased five returns, so what do I have to do.

Have to do...

1) with the IRS?

or

2) with Intuit?

In the meantime, you can prepare paper returns so long as you have a valid PTIN.

Once you receive your EFIN, follow the steps in this article to register the number with Intuit so that you can e-file: https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/account-management/register-efin-proconnect-tax/L9UQWErbz_US_en_US

You don't have to wait for the EFIN letter to arrive. Your printout of the EFIN Application Summary from your IRS account is good enough.

And if you do have that EFIN print out, you have to upload it Intuit to be able to efile.

Unless, of course, those first five clients tell you that they don't like e-filing and want to go down to the Post Office and mail a paper return. That's assuming that you are going to prepare more than 10 returns. If not, you can paper file 10 returns without an EFIN and without getting in hot water with the IRS.

Good point, @IRonMaN. Should have mentioned that.
