The Internal Revenue Service today announced that Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) renewals for 2025 are now being processed.

The nation’s more than 810,000 tax return preparers must renew their PTIN for the coming year. All current PTINs will expire on Dec. 31, 2024.

Anyone who prepares or assists in preparing federal tax returns for compensation must have a valid PTIN before preparing returns. All Enrolled Agents must also have a valid PTIN. The PTIN should be included as the identifying number on any return or claim for refund filed with the IRS. Failure to have and use a valid PTIN may result in penalties.

The fee to renew or obtain a PTIN is $19.75 for 2025. The PTIN fee is non-refundable.
