Prior Year Registration Codes

📚 Prior Year Registration Codes

This guide provides registration codes for filing prior year tax returns using Sure-Fire Tax Software. These codes allow you to unlock the software for paper filing when e-filing is not available.

⚠️ Before You Begin

You will need:

  • EFIN - Use: 070743 for all prior year codes
  • Key Code (if asked) - Use: TWYY where YY = last 2 digits of tax year (example: TW15 for 2015)
  • Registration Code - Found in the table below

Important Note: E-filing is only available for the current 3 tax years. These codes are for paper filing only and will disable e-filing capabilities.

📋 How to Use These Codes

Step 1: Enter EFIN in Setup

  1. Open Sure-Fire Tax Software
  2. Go to Setup Options or Setup Assistant
  3. Enter the EFIN: 070743

Step 2: Enter Registration Code

  1. Find the tax year you need in the table below
  2. Copy the Registration Code exactly as shown
  3. Paste it into the registration field

Step 3: Enter Key Code (If Prompted)

If the software asks for a Key Code:

  1. Type: TW followed by the last 2 digits of the tax year
  2. Example for 2015: TW15
  3. Example for 2010: TW10

✅ Important Notes

  • E-filing Disabled: These codes only work for paper filing. They will not allow e-filing.
  • Data Import Limitation: You cannot import backups from a different EFIN if you haven't registered TaxWise using that EFIN before.
  • All Functions Unlocked: These codes unlock all functions and packages in the software for the specified year.
  • EFIN is Consistent: Always use EFIN 070743 regardless of the tax year.

❌ Troubleshooting

Registration code is not being accepted

Make sure you:

  • Copied the code exactly as shown (including hyphens and spaces)
  • Are using the correct code for the tax year
  • Entered the correct EFIN (070743)
  • Did not accidentally add extra characters

Software still asks for registration code after entering it

Try restarting the software. If the issue persists, double-check that:

  • You're in the Setup Options window
  • The code was entered into the correct field
  • You clicked Save or OK to confirm the entry

I need a code for a different year not listed
