IRS PTIN System Has Reopened

IRS PTIN System Has Reopened

On February 1, the United States District Court modified its order that enjoined the IRS from enforcing the regulatory requirements for registered tax return preparers. The court ruled that it does not apply to the requirement that all paid tax return preparers register and obtain a PTIN.

Therefore as of today, February 4, the IRS has reopened their online PTIN registration system on their website.

Any preparers that still need to renew their existing PTINs or obtain a new one may now do so. The fee for renewing a PTIN is $63.00 and the fee for obtaining a new PTIN is $64.25.

To renew or obtain a PTIN go to the IRS Tax Professional PTIN System page on irs.gov.
