There’s more to the IRS Nationwide Tax Forum than continuing education.

• Tax Pro Account authentication
• The Centralized Authorization File
• PTIN lookup, registration and renewal
• PTIN account issues, such as name changes, address updates and PTIN compromise/misuse
• Confirmation of earned CE credits
• Verification of Annual Filing Season Program status and eligibility
• Verification of Enrolled Agent status and eligibility
• Assistance with PTIN compliance issues

Attendees can make their appointments on-site.

Digital Account Services is just one benefit of attending an IRS Tax Forum. Want to learn more?

The New Orleans Tax Forum is now sold out. But tax pros can still register for the Orlando Forum, Aug. 26-28, the Baltimore Forum, Sept. 9-11, and the San Diego Forum, Sept. 16-18.

2.  Security Summit: Week 2 of the Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself series focuses on evolving threats and ways for tax pros to take countermeasures

In the second of the five-part “Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself” summer series, the IRS and its partners in the Security Summit warn tax professionals to be wary of evolving phishing emails and other schemes to steal sensitive taxpayer data and offer steps tax pros can take to protect sensitive taxpayer information.

Among the most common threats facing tax pros are phishing scams. These scams are designed to trick the recipient into disclosing personal information such as passwords, bank account numbers, credit card numbers or Social Security numbers. Tax professionals and taxpayers should be aware of different phishing terms and what the email scams might look like.

For tax professionals who are victims of any of these schemes or identity theft, the IRS urges them to quickly contact their IRS Stakeholder Liaison to provide details of the situation. Tax professionals can also share information with the appropriate state tax agency by visiting the Federation of Tax Administrators Report a Data Breach page.

Notice 2025-39 updates the corporate bond monthly yield curve, the corresponding spot segment rates for June 2025 used under section 417(e)(3)(D), the 24-month average segment rates applicable for July 2025, and the 30-year Treasury rates, as the application of section 430(h)(2)(C)(iv) reflects.

Notice 2025-40 specifies updated static mortality tables to be used for defined benefit pension plans under section 430(h)(3)(A) of the Code and section 303(h)(3)(A) of ERISA. This notice also specifies a mortality table for use in determining minimum present value under section 417(e)(3) of the Code and section 205(g)(3) of ERISA for distributions with annuity starting dates that occur during stability periods beginning in the 2026 calendar year.

Revenue Ruling 2025-14 provides various prescribed rates for federal income tax purposes including the applicable federal interest rates, the adjusted applicable federal interest rates, the adjusted federal long-term rate, and the adjusted federal long-term tax-exempt rate. These rates are determined as section 1274 prescribes.

Revenue Procedure 2025-25 provides indexing adjustments to the applicable percentage table in section 36B(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code for taxable years beginning in calendar year 2026. This table is used to calculate an individual’s premium tax credit under section 36B. This revenue procedure also provides the indexing adjustment for the required contribution percentage in section 36B(c)(2)(C)(i)(II) for plan years beginning in calendar year 2026.
