With filing season opening in a few days, the Minnesota Department of Revenue has important reminders about protecting your Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) and your Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN).
Watch out for phishing attempts
Be alert if you get emails asking you to verify your credentials. These are likely phishing attempts and may cause irreparable harm to you and your business.
If you believe you shared sensitive information through a phishing email, contact us immediately. For more information, see our Identity Theft and Tax Refund Fraud page.
Make sure your PTIN is renewed and entered correctly
Update your software control files for this year and any past years you still file.
Make sure your PTIN is valid
Invalid PTINs can delay processing for client returns. Beginning this year, we will assess penalties if you file returns with invalid PTINs.
