PTIN Renewal to Begin October 15, 2020

PTIN Renewal to Begin October 15, 2020

Carol Campbell, Director of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), reminds all tax preparers that they must renew their Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) annually in order to prepare tax returns for compensation during the following tax season. PTIN renewal will open October 15, 2020 for all tax preparers. Some preparers may receive an invitation to process their renewal starting October 9th in order to test the system with a smaller group. The PTIN fee is $35.95 for all registrants and is to be paid online.

In a recent webinar, the Return Preparer's Office (RPO) released statistics related to paid tax preparation. Here is the document for your information.
