Patrick Michael Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 "The Internal Revenue Service is reducing the annual cost of a Preparer Tax Identification Number after a court ruled that the charge was too high. The application and renewal fee will be reduced to $11, plus an extra $8.75 for payment to a third-party contractor, the IRS said in interim final regulations. That's considerably lower than the 2023 fee of $30.75 for renewing or obtaining a PTIN. The move comes after a federal district court ruled earlier this year in the case of Steele v. United States that the IRS was charging excessive PTIN fees from fiscal years 2011 to 2017." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 Are they open to renew yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 45 minutes ago, Randall said: Are they open to renew yet? No, it should start sometime later this month. This was approved on Sept 25th and the effective date is Oct 19, 2023. Right now the PTIN renewal page says it is still processing for 2023 new apps and renewals. I got this info from the National Archives Daily Journal of the Federal Register here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2023/10/04/2023-22103/preparer-tax-identification-number-ptin-user-fee-update 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max W Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 But I don't suppose we will get a refund for the overcharged years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
