Issue Number: Tax Tip 2024-95

*Tax professionals must renew their Preparer Tax Identification Number by Dec. 31*

With more than 800,000 Preparer Tax Identification Numbers set to expire on Dec 31, 2024, the IRS recommends tax professionals renew their PTIN now with the IRS Tax Professional PTIN system [ [link removed] ].

Anyone who prepares or helps with preparation of tax returns for compensation must have a valid PTIN. Tax professionals must include a PTIN with any return or claim for refund filed with the IRS. The fee to renew or obtain a PTIN for 2025 is $19.75, which is non-refundable.

*Renew PTINs online
*To renew a PTIN online through the IRS Tax Professional PTIN system, the registered tax professional will need to complete an online renewal application, verify their personal information and answer questions. Once the IRS receives payment, the agency will send the applicant confirmation the PTIN has been renewed.

*Apply for a PTIN online
*First-time applicants may also use the IRS Tax Professional PTIN system to apply online. The applicant will need to:


* Create an account using their name and an email account that they always have access to.
* Complete the online application by providing personal information, credentials and history. See this checklist [ [link removed] ] of what’s need before getting started.
* Pay the fee by credit, debit or ATM card or eCheck.

The applicant will receive a PTIN once they complete all steps and the IRS receives payment.

*PTIN system features
*With the PTIN system, tax professionals can also: 


* See a list of continuing education.
* Find a summary of the number of filed returns on which their PTIN has appeared in the current year.
* Receive communications through a secure mailbox from the IRS Return Preparer Office.
* Track their progress for participation in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program [ [link removed] ].
