I just signed up and came across PTIN. What is that?

PTIN stands for Preparer Tax Identification Number. It is an eight-digit number starting with the letter "P," issued by the IRS to paid tax return preparers who file tax returns on behalf of taxpayers. If you're a tax preparer or tax professional, you'll need a PTIN to prepare and file tax forms for others.

Important Points to Remember:

• You must be over 18 years old to apply for a PTIN.

• A PTIN is unique to each individual and cannot be shared.
