IFILE Signing as Preparer

[austin3515]

Does anyone know of an IFILE work around that would allow a paid preparer to sign the 5500, but still have the true plan administrator's name show up on the box on the right hand side of the page?

According to customer service at EFAST2 (which was actually great) there is no way around, this but I just thought I would check.

I haven't found a way around this either. But I do want to comment on EFast 2 customer support. They have been TERRIFIC! They have been there when I called (no significant hold time), very nice and very knowledgeable.

I had the exact same experience. Definitely impressive, and not just for the government

So if you use IFILE, the preparers name shows up on the signature area as well on the right side (where the typed plan admin name is)?

Yes, and the DOL is aware of this (according to customer service at the DOL) and there is no way around it, atl least on IFILE.
