If you plan on filing more than 5 returns, you need an efin. That’s why TurboTax et al limit you to 5.

No. If you file at least 10 returns you are required to efile. If you efile you need an EFIN

You can’t use TurboTax as a tax return preparer. TurboTax is for self-prepared returns only.

The 5 limit in TurboTax is to limit misuse. It is not related to an EFIN.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
