As of January 1, 2011, all paid tax return preparers must obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) before preparing returns. If you already have a PTIN, you must renew it each year. 

Some preparers must take and pass a competency test in order to obtain a PTIN. Certified Public Accountants, attorneys, Enrolled Agents and individuals who do not prepare 1040-series returns are exempt from the testing requirement. Some preparers who are supervised by Certified Public Accountants, attorneys, and Enrolled Agents may also be exempt. To determine if you are required to take the test, review the Frequently Asked Questions at www.irs.gov/ptin
