Lee B Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 PTIN User Fee. The IRS issued final regulations relating to the imposition of certain user fees on tax return preparers (T.D. 9781; TAXDAY, 2016/08/10, I.1). The final regulations, which affect individuals who apply for or renew a PTIN, reduce the user fee from $50 to $33 . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gail in Virginia Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 The user fee is reduced to $33 but when added to the fee from the third party vendor who collects the fee, we pay $50. So from my point of view, I am not sure it really changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Neither link works for me. Here's the JOA article. I can't remember what I paid last year and I can't look it up right now, but it seems like a sweet gig to earn $17 per transaction to process $33 payments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abby Normal Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 You're right, Gail. I paid $50 last year, so the fee is exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby Normal Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I figured it out. This is just making permanent the reduction we got last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could get the contract to process all the PTIN renewals at $17 each - I think I could quit doing tax returns. And actually come close to only working a few months a year, which everyone thinks is what I do anyway. Ha. Ha. /s 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
