PTIN / IRS Info

Your PTIN matters. We take compliance seriously.

The IRS requires all paid tax preparers to hold a valid, active PTIN. TaxOwl Pro verifies PTIN status for every preparer in our network — because it protects you, your clients, and the integrity of the returns you file.

TaxOwl Pro is operated by CKT Ventures, LLC. Our team prepares and files returns ourselves.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What software does TaxOwl Pro use?

TaxOwl Pro is built on the CrossLink platform — professional-grade tax preparation software used by bureau operators nationwide. You get the full CrossLink filing experience backed by TaxOwl Pro’s support and bank product infrastructure.

What is a Refund Transfer and how does it work?

A Refund Transfer lets your clients pay your preparation fee from their refund. Your fee is deducted, and the remainder goes to your client. It removes the “I don’t have the money upfront” objection and helps you collect on every return.

Can I offer advances to my clients?

Yes. Bank products through TaxOwl Pro include refund advance options. Availability and terms depend on your bank product partner enrollment. Details are provided during activation.

What does unlimited returns mean?

Unlimited returns means exactly that — no per-return fees, no volume caps, no surprises mid-season. You pay one flat seasonal price and file as many returns as your clients need.

What if I need help during tax season?

TaxOwl Pro provides operator-led support via email at 1040@taxowlpro.com. Our support team prepares and files returns themselves — so you’re getting help from people who understand the work, not a generic help desk.

What happens after I apply?

We review your application and confirm your PTIN and EFIN status, typically within 24 hours. Once approved, your account is provisioned, bank products are enabled, and you receive access to TaxOwl Hub and TaxOwl Academy. You can start filing within 48 hours of applying.
