I need to prepare more than 5 Partnership 1065 returns. Is the limit for free e-file five or can I only prepare 5 returns and will need to purchase an additional license to do 5 more? 

 

Thank you.

There is an IRS e-file limit for DIY software (an extra license will not help).

 

You can print and mail an unlimited number of 1065s, however.

The limit of five is for the individual efiling the returns with the same SS #? Thank you.

The limit is five for any one individual preparing returns so, for example, a taxpayer could conceivably prepare and e-file a joint return for that taxpayer and a spouse and also a return for each of the taxpayer's 4 children. 

 

In other words, it is not the same social security number on a return.
