Did You Receive A Warning Letter From The IRS?
According to TaxProToday, the IRS has sent out its regular warning letters to inactive EFIN holders. However, this year it seems that there was some error and current, active EFIN holders could be getting one, as well. If you have used your EFIN to e-file at least one return in the last two years, you do not need to take any action and the letter was sent by mistake. If you, however, have not used your EFIN, they are probably going to deactivate it, and you will need to call or use e-services to correct/reactivate the EFIN.
