Lee B Posted September 15, 2021 Report Posted September 15, 2021 If I can trust my shaky memory, I think PTIN Renewal usually opens up after October 15th. 3 1 Quote
Abby Normal Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 I don't understand the rush to send in your money. I do it every December as part of getting ready for tax season. 1 Quote

I do it every December as part of getting ready for tax season. Acutally, I'm in no rush to send them money, but I too like to get ready for tax season. Call me a pessimist but, as you know, we must have the PTIN to do taxes, so I like to get a jump on it if possible. Rarely (but sometimes), the IRS site has stated that my ID and/or password (known to me to be correct) is wrong, or that the computer's down, or for some reason they ae unable to process the application at this time. If their damn 1980 computer doesn't work, IRS is, of course, incommunicado. That leaves the paper option available by mail (probably as soon as the unprocessed 10 million return backlog is cleared) and doubtless, you would receive the OK by next July. P.S. I'm presently unable to process any critical responses to this hogwash. Check back later and let fly. _____________________________________ Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me! 1 Quote
Christian Posted September 16, 2021 Report Posted September 16, 2021 Have no fear Bart. The inscrutables at the Service will eventually right the ship. In 2020 in the middle of the pandemic my phone rings and an IRS agent informs me that my PTIN is incorrect and has been so since 2014 !! He was unable to provide any reason for this being so but said I needed to change it post haste which I did immediately. 1 Quote

In which case what is the point of having one? Strange that you got a phone call instead of a letter? How would you know it was really someone from the IRS calling you? 2 Quote
Christian Posted September 17, 2021 Report Posted September 17, 2021 I had experienced no problems for some six years apparently using an incorrect PTIN. Having been conditioned to believe that an incorrect filing would produce an error message advising me of any mistakes in entry and having received none I thought everything was just fine. My offhand guess is the error occurred when improvements were made in the PTIN system. I ask the agent for an ID which he provided and pointed out the Service did not call people further asking why I had not received a written notice. They apparently had just discovered the error and as we were in the midst of the filing season wanted the number changed as quickly as possible. He provided a number to call him at and after checking what he had said I changed the number and called him back to advise him the number was corrected. He assigned no blame to me and sometime afterwards I received a letter from them. I chalked it up to the wonderful working of our government and soldiered on. 1 Quote

BulldogTom Posted October 20, 2021 Report Posted October 20, 2021 They sent me an email on 10/12 telling me how much they appreciate that I renew early every year, so they are letting me renew early again. I just get it out of the way when they send the email. Tom Longview, TX 3 Quote
Catherine Posted October 21, 2021 Report Posted October 21, 2021 Yes, I also got a renewal email last week, logged in, and renewed. Done for another year! 2 Quote

Yardley CPA Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 I just renewed. One less thing to do in December. 2 Quote
FDNY Posted October 25, 2021 Report Posted October 25, 2021 Ditto, done with CPEs too, just waiting on NY’s release of classes. I try to make the last 2 months of the year as stress free as possible, like it’s a vacation 4 Quote
mcb39 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Posted October 28, 2021 I renewed last week. Now for classes this coming Tues and Wed; Nov 2 and 3. Thought everything would be smooth for a while. Yesterday, in walks a delinquent tax return. Alas. Never count your chickens! 1 Quote
Catherine Posted October 29, 2021 Report Posted October 29, 2021 I'm done with minimum required cpe but could use a few more to help with the 3-year required hours. Always too much to do! 1 Quote
mcb39 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Posted November 24, 2021 Am finished with required cpe as well, but did sign up for a half day FREE seminar on Wisconsin tax in December. Since the program has arrived and is installed, I feel ahead of the game at the moment. I know I will live to eat those words. 1 Quote
