Authorized IRS e-file Providers must notify the IRS within 30 days of all changes to the information that was originally submitted on IRS e-file Application or Form 8633, Application to Participate in the IRS e-file Program. This includes, but is not limited to a change in Principals or Responsible Officials, contacts, Delegated Users and their authorities, address, and telephone information.

• Undeliverable mail returned to the IRS will result in your e-file participation being suspended until an updated address or explanation is provided. This could result in rejected returns or the inability to transmit returns. Also, you may not receive important correspondence necessary for continued participation in IRS e-file.  
• Form types for each provider option must be kept updated to avoid returns and return transmissions from being rejected when the form types you are submitting have not already been identifeid on your application. 
• All individuals listed on the e-file application, along with their personal information, must be kept current including the e-Services authorities that are assigned to your Responsible Officials or Delegated Users. You are required to update the authorities of individuals who no longer need to access certain e-Services and you are required to remove individuals who have left your employment.    

It is easy to update your e-file Application information if you are a registered e-Services User. Just login to e-Servicesto viwe and update your IRS e-file Application online.

Authorized IRS e-file Providers that are active and have e-filed five (5) or more accepted individual or business tax returns in a calendar year can use the incentive e-Services products -  Disclosure Authorization (DA), Electronic Account Resolution (EAR), and Transcript Delivery System (TDS).

Beginning May, 2007, Reporting Agents that are accepted participants will be provided access to TDS and EAR products tailored to meet their reporting needs.  Individual users must be employed by the Reporting Agent and be identified on the e-file Application as a Principal, Responsible Official, or Delegated User, in order to receive requested information under the Reporting Agents taxpayer authorization.  Further details can be obtained on News from RAF.    

We appreciate your interest, support, and encourage participation in IRS e-file!
