Frequently asked questions
What is an authorized IRS e-file provider?
An authorized IRS e-file provider is a business or individual approved by the IRS to electronically transmit tax returns to the IRS on behalf of taxpayers or preparers. ATP has held IRS e-file authorization since 2001 and is authorized to transmit returns for all 50 states.
How much does TaxWise cost?
ATP's TaxWise(R) Individual 1040 package starts at $675 paid in full, or $775 on a 12-month payment plan. All States and Business packages are available as add-ons. Pricing is for the 2025 tax year and is subject to change; confirm current pricing with ATP before ordering.
Do I need my own EFIN to file returns for clients?
If you transmit returns through ATP's IRS e-file authorization, you can file on behalf of clients using ATP's EFIN. If you plan to become an independent Electronic Return Originator, you will need your own EFIN from the IRS. ATP's guide for new preparers walks through both paths.
What states does TaxWise support?
TaxWise(R) supports all states that require individual income tax returns. The Individual 1040 package includes software for up to five states; the All States add-on covers the full nationwide set. Business state returns are included in the Business package add-on.
