IRS Resumes PTIN Registrations and Renewals

As of June 21, the IRS resumed PTIN registration and renewals. They will do this at no charge.

The IRS continues to work with the Department of Justice on how they will proceed on the US District Court ruling that enjoined the IRS from charging a user fee for the issuance and renewal of PTINs and refunding previous fees paid.

The IRS emphasizes that a PTIN remains a requirement for any individual who prepares federal returns for compensation.  See the IRS Reopening PTIN System page on their webpage for answers to questions regarding PTIN registration.
