Every paid tax preparer must have a valid PTIN before filing or helping to file a federal tax return for the clients. This PTIN expires on December 31st of every year, so all the paid tax preparers must renew their PTINs and make sure it is valid. If you do not have a PTIN, you can obtain it by applying for it with the IRS. Click here to apply for a PTIN and get it online in 15 minutes for free.
