Whats the best way to file for 20 people?

Are people paying you to prepare their tax returns? The best way to file tax returns for paying clients is to become an authorized e-file provider and use professional tax software.


You cannot use TurboTax to file tax returns for paying clients (not even for 5 or fewer). TurboTax is only for do-it-yourself consumer use and cannot be used by paid preparers. Intuit (the company that makes TurboTax) has three tax software product lines for professional preparers: ProSeries, Lacerte, and ProConnect. You can find information about all three product lines at the following link.


Professional tax software for preparers


If you have a small practice with primarily individual clients you will probably find that ProSeries is the most suitable.

You can use a desktop (installed on a computer) product but you are limited to e-filing five returns, which is an IRS limitation.

 

Thus, you will have to print and mail the remaining 15 returns.
