Subject: Online PTIN System Update

Thanks to the collective efforts of the tax professional community and early-adopters, we have been able to resolve many of the initial start-up challenges with the IRS Tax Professional PTIN System experienced by some users. As a result, IRS has issued over 50,000 PTINs to date. We will continue our efforts to address any further challenges as they arise and we very much appreciate the helpful input and feedback we have received.

As a reminder, we update the PTIN system FAQs as we receive feedback from you. Check the FAQs before you get started to make sure you have the most current PTIN information and what you need to get your PTIN.

Although the website and call center continue to experience high volumes, we continue to see improvements in functionality and responsiveness.

Thank you for your continued patience and for being a critical partner in tax administration.
