What has changed for IRS PTIN Renewals in 2025?
Important PTIN Renewal Updates from the IRS
It’s time once again for tax professionals to renew their Preparer Tax Identification Numbers (PTINs). This year, the IRS has introduced a major change to the PTIN sign-in process for those with a Social Security number (SSN). Tax preparers will now need to sign in using ID.me, a secure identity verification service already used by other federal and state agencies. The traditional Username and Password login method will soon be discontinued, so all preparers with an SSN must set up an ID.me account to access the Tax Professional PTIN System. Preparers without an SSN will continue using their existing login process.
