After signing up with TaxBandits, you’ll be prompted to specify your filer type and provide essential details such as your business information, address, and Electronic Return Originator (ERO) credentials.

• EFIN (Electronic Filing Identification Number): A unique number issued by the IRS to authorized e-file providers.

• 5-digit Self-Select PIN: Any 5-digit number (other than all zeros) that you can assign and use to sign and authorize your e-filed returns.

• EFIN Proof: A copy of the IRS acceptance letter showing your assigned EFIN.

 

Complete Form 941

After entering your client's information, proceed to complete Form 941. Once you have filled out Form 941, you will be directed to the signature section. The five-digit PIN entered previously will be mapped automatically in Form 8879-EMP.

Obtain E-signature on 8879-EMP

Before transmitting the return, you'll need your client to sign Form 8879-EMP to authorize the electronic filing.

You can review the 8879-EMP we’ve generated for you and send an e-signature request to your clients. Your clients will receive an email with a link to view their 941 form, review 8879-EMP, and e-sign it.
