Issue Number:  Tax Tip 2025-68

*Tax professionals have until Dec. 31 to renew their Preparer Tax Identification number*

The IRS is reminding tax professionals to renew their Preparer Tax Identification numbers now, if they haven’t already. Anyone who prepares or helps with preparation of tax returns for compensation must have a valid PTIN. Tax professionals must include their PTIN on any return or claim for refund filed with the IRS.

*PTINs will expire on December 31, 2025*. Renewing is simple and can be completed in about 15 minutes.

*Renewing a PTIN*
For existing PTIN holders, log into their account through the IRS Tax Professional PTIN system [ [link removed] ]. The registered tax professional will need to complete an online renewal application by verifying their personal information and answering a few questions.

The fee to renew or get a PTIN for 2026 is $18.75, which is non-refundable. After payment, the IRS will send applicant confirmation the PTIN has been renewed.

*Need a PTIN*
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 address that they can always access
* Review the PTIN application checklist [ [link removed] ]: What you need to get started
* Complete the online application by providing personal information, tax return information and professional credentials
* Pay the PTIN 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*
Using the PTIN system, tax professionals can also:


* See a list of their completed continuing education courses
* View a summary of the number returns filed using their PTIN during the year
* Receive communications through a secure mailbox from the IRS Return Preparer Office
* Track their progress towards participating in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program [ [link removed] ]
