    Fees

    Enrolled agents currently pay $125 for enrollment and renewal. Attorneys and certified public accountants pay similar fees to their oversight organizations. Will the fee for obtaining a PTIN be applicable to all enrolled agents, attorneys and CPAs in addition to their other fees? (revised 3/29/10)

    Yes. All paid tax return preparers will have to pay a fee to obtain and renew their PTINs. This fee is in addition to any fee that paid tax return preparers must pay for any other certifications or licenses they hold. Because attorneys, CPAs and enrolled agents are exempt from testing, they will not be required to pay the separate testing fee.

    What will be the amount of the fee for obtaining a PTIN (if I don't already have one) or registering an existing PTIN ( if I already have one), once the new online preparer registration system becomes available? (posted 5/26/10)

    The fee will be the same regardless of whether you are obtaining a PTIN or re-registering an existing PTIN but the exact amount of the fee has not been determined. An estimate is that it will be in the range of $25-100 annually per individual (or $75-300 for the three year renewal period of a PTIN).

    "If your spouse died during the year and you file a joint return as a surviving spouse, you are not considered married for purposes of the earned income limit. Use only your income in figuring the earned income limit." http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p503.pdf

    The question concerned child care, not EIC.

  21. ATX renewal

    Posted

    Got a call at 9:30PM last night from an automated ATX reminding me to renew by 5PM today, Thursday, because they are closed tomorrow through Monday for the holiday.

    Oh well, I guess I'll miss their deadline ... again.
