To designate the ERO contact:

1. On the preparer information screen, locate the Contact column.
2. Use the radio button to select which preparer is the ERO contact for your firm.

Previously, the ERO contact selection was located on the firm information screen. ProConnect Tax includes the ERO contact information in e-filed returns, but it's not printed on any forms.

To change your firm information if you e-file:

If you plan to e-file tax returns, you'll need to submit an EFIN verification document in order to change your firm name or address. That's because the firm information in your software must match the information on your EFIN Application Summary from the IRS. Update your information with the IRS prior to submitting a firm information change to Intuit. Then, follow the steps to verify your EFIN, and your firm information will be updated accordingly.

To change your firm information if your firm doesn't e-file

1. Select .
2. Select Firm Information.
3. Select the Pencil icon to edit your information.

This will only update the firm information that's printed on tax returns you prepare. Accounts that e-file tax returns cannot make changes this way.
