Why We Ask These Questions?
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) conducts a suitability check before approving any applicant for an Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) under IRS Publication 3112, IRS e-file Application and Participation, and related Revenue Procedure 2007-40.
As part of this process, the IRS reviews an applicant’s criminal background, credit history, and tax compliance to ensure integrity and reliability in handling taxpayer information. Our questionnaire helps identify potential issues early so we can guide you through corrective steps if needed. Having a prior felony or low credit score does not automatically disqualify you — it simply allows us to prepare and support you in meeting IRS standards.
At Kalu Institute, we’re committed to helping every student successfully navigate this process and establish a compliant, trustworthy office or service bureau.
