2027 Tax Professional ProgramBuild Your Tax Business With Structure, Training & Compliance.
Choose your partnership track and complete your independent-contractor agreement. Contact ECTG after signing for your current activation-payment instructions.
Choose Your Partnership Track
You choose your own track. Both options include Tax Academy training, business-building education, operational guidance, compliance accountability and access to ECTG systems after all onboarding requirements are cleared.
Before you begin: Use your legal name and current email address on your agreement. Sign only the agreement for your selected track. Your activation fee is due upfront, in full, before activation. After signing, contact ECTG for payment instructions and use your name and selected track as the payment reference.
Activation Payment Instructions
After signing, call ECTG at 706-832-2036 for the current authorized payment instructions. Have your selected 60/40 or 70/30 track ready.
Temporary payment option: ECTG can provide Zelle instructions directly for preparer activation fees. Confirm the recipient with ECTG before sending. Enrollment payment is verified manually after funds are received; a payment screenshot alone does not confirm activation. Your fee must be paid in full before activation.
Need to coordinate payment around payday? Contact ECTG before sending payment. Signing your agreement alone does not release software credentials or authorize tax-return preparation.

$10 compliance fee per return
Applicable bank-product and processing charges
Fee Accountability
High preparation fees above $2,000 may trigger the provider’s $10-per-$100 assessment.
Unfunded client balances and related processing costs remain the responsible preparer’s obligation as outlined in the agreement.
Compliance is mandatory. Required IRS/credential training, Tax Academy training, business-building training and authorized payment procedures must be completed and followed. Failure to comply may result in loss of filing-season eligibility or termination under the agreement.
