Now why would TT decide it needed to advise me about whether I am a paid preparer or not and try to protect me from "accidentally" being classified as one. This is nonsense. It's none of your business. The efiling limit is yours. You just want more fees for higher grade software IMO. If I can file unlimited paper returns how is their any control over how many I do paid or unpaid. I'm a CPA w 5 kids who don't pay me. I'm willing to take the risk that the IRS may think I'm a paid preparer when I clearly am not. I don't file anyone's else's taxes because my practice is as a business consultant not a tax preparer. Why are you making this hard to do? There's no reason to try to protect me from me other than you want more money. Fess up.
