Efin validation error when efiling

I am receiving the following message when I am efiling tax returns. EFIN has not been registered to your account. Please verify your EFIN with us. Not transmitted, the return failed the tax submission return validation step.

Have you ever submitted your EFIN application summary to Intuit?  I think you can do it from your online Intuit account   https://www.intuit.com/sign-in/   

From the Dashboard choose Account > Account Details and in your Tax Prep credentials does it show an Approved EFIN?

I have been using proseries since 2013 and the EFIN status shows as verified. I did exactly what you said. I have never encountered so many issues with proseries as I am dealing with this year.

I thank you anyway for your input.

What is going on this year with ProSeries? I've been using and efiling since 2000 and NOW my EFIN number is not validated? I have efiled returns already and they were accepted using the same EFIN. 

I am tired of being treating this way from Intuit. Was my cash not as good as free turbo tax filers?

I am having the same issue.

We changed our EFIN number this year.

I duly updated the EFIN information in preparer/firm info options.

When I file, the return shows the the corrected EFIN but main line still shows the old EFIN.

How do I eliminate the old EFIN?
