PTIN Preparer Program 2027 — FAQs
Do I need an EFIN to enroll in the PTIN Preparer Program 2027?

70/30 Starter is $19.99 enrollment, 80/20 Growth is $99 enrollment, and 100% Executive is $799/year enrollment — each due today when you enroll. Backend per-return fees stay under $200. By contrast, the average professional tax software runs $999/year, so every tier is a deal.
