I'm not filing as a paid tax preparer. I work for a not for profit and use the program to help individuals file their tax returns, for no charge. So the returns are not being electronically filed as, e.g., 10 returns filed by Paid Tax Preparer for 10 individual clients. They are being filed for each individual. Since preparer who worked on the returns is not paid, name of preparer is not listed on the returns.
I have no problem with each copy of the program limiting me to filing five returns electronically, and bought two copies of the program anticipating that would allow me to assist 10 individuals to file their returns electronically. (Also, NY State, where I work, requires returns prepared by tax software to be filed electronically, at least while electronic filing is open.)
