Tax preparers can now renew their PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number) for the 2025 calendar year. Visit the IRS Tax Professional PTIN System page on the IRS website to complete the process.
Key Reminders:
- Requirement: All tax preparers who file federal returns for compensation must have a valid PTIN. Failure to comply may lead to penalties.
- Fee: The renewal or application fee is $19.75.
- Expiration: Current PTINs expire on December 31, 2024, so renewal is required for the 2025 season.
- Individual PTINs: Each tax preparer must have their own PTIN; it cannot be shared between individuals or offices.
