The IRS PTIN (Preparer Tax Identification Number) system is now open for calendar year 2025 PTIN renewal applications and first time registrants' initial PTIN applications. The fee this year is $19.95. PTIN user-fees are non-refundable so new-to-tax preparers should take care to double check the year to avoid paying for both the coming year's registration and the prior year's registration inadvertently.
PTIN assistance is now available via live chat on IRS.gov. Click the image below to be taken to PTIN live chat.
