ptin renewal

[Marie]

Have tried several times to get this done, and keep running into roadblocks.  Can I call and get it renewed.  What happens if I can't get it done til January 2?

What kind of roadblocks? As far as I know the only option is to renew by mail with Form W 12 which takes 4 to 6 weeks to process.

The following FAQs cover how to resolve almost any problem

Follow Lee's instructions.  It shouldn't be a problem as we can't file until around the 24th anyway.  Take a deep breath; read the directions slowly and do as instructed.
