In tax year 2014, we renamed the required service components of your tax software purchase and presented them as a standalone line item on your invoice named Fast Path.

This allowed us to expand access and make improvements to these services, including:

  • Year-round e-filing (during all periods the IRS and state agencies are open for e-file)
  • Expanded downloads from financial institutions
  • U.S.-based technical and product support
  • Access to software downloads
  • Training content
  • Data conversion services
  • eSignature, Intuit Link, and Audit Assistance

Fast Path is automatically included as part of your ProSeries annual renewal.

If you don't renew, ProSeries will continue to work on your desktop, but you won't have access to certain services like e-filing, support, or authorizing new returns for current or prior years if you're on a pay-as-you-go basis. If you use the unlimited modules, you may still print returns.

We've listed all pertinent details regarding Fast Path Services below.

What's included in your Fast Path services:

  • E-file for current-year returns
  • E-file late and amended tax returns for tax years that are still open for e-filing with the IRS (tax years 2021, 2020 and 2019 between January 1–December 31)
  • Pay-per-return (PPR) access for the current and prior tax years
