PTIN UPDATE


IRS has made the registration process to renew your PTIN available at www.irs.gov/ptin.

If your initially signed up electronically, you may renew electronically.

If you originally signed up by paper, IRS will send you an activation code in the mail so that you can use the electronic registration form. You can still use paper form W-12 if you so choose.

The 2012 fee is $63.00.

PTINs must be renewed by December 31, 2011.

One fellow tax blogger, Russ Fox of TAXABLE TALK, experienced problems and agita when renewing online, but was eventually successful.  Another, THE MISSOURI TAX GUY Bruce McFarland, had no problems with his online renewal.

I must wait to receive the activation code in the mail.
