*3.  New Sign-In Process for the PTIN System*

________________________________________________________________________

The IRS is implementing a new sign-in process for the Tax Professional PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number) System. Tax professionals who have a Social Security Number (SSN) will now be required to sign in using ID.me, a trusted technology provider that conducts identity verification and manages credentials for access to IRS online services. This enhancement is designed to improve both security and convenience for tax professionals accessing the PTIN System.

The IRS has sent an email to tax professionals to inform them of the new sign-in requirement and provide instructions. Additional communications are forthcoming to further guide tax professionals through this transition.

*4.  News from the Justice Department’s Tax Division*

________________________________________________________________________

A Phoenix man, Pacifique Kashosi, made his initial appearance in federal court after a grand jury in Phoenix returned an indictment charging him with filing false tax returns for himself and for clients [ [link removed] ] of his tax preparation business. From 2021 to 2023, Kashosi allegedly prepared and filed false tax returns for clients of Africa Union Tax Services LLC, his return preparation business. Kashosi claimed false or inflated sick and family leave and fuel credits that created or increased refunds for his clients to which to he knew they were not entitled. The indictment further alleges that Kashosi earned income through the operation of his tax preparation business for the years 2022 and 2023 that he did not report on the tax returns he filed for himself for those two years. If convicted, Kashosi faces a maximum penalty of three years in prison for each count of aiding and assisting in the preparation of a false tax return.
