New York Preparer Requirements

[Tax Prep by Deb]

Ok, I hope someone can help me out.  I have a client who moved to New York in August.  It's not totally clear at this point if she is going to stay, but she is currently and has been since the day she moved there been working, so therefore I have a New York W2.

My question is what do I have to do to have New York allow me to complete this one and only tax return?  I've never done one in the past, and really do not intend on doing so in the future.  Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a link to the NY tax preparer registration that will walk you through requirements.

https://www.tax.ny.gov/tp/reg/tpregmore.htm   ALL (even one return prepared) preparers must register (there are exceptions - of course, it's government)  BUT with only one, you would not be considered a "commercial" preparer, so CE's will not be required..

The good news is - registration is about 10-15 minutes and easy.     

Have a nice one today and from now on --- all is fun in tax land..
