The IRS has issued a news release, IR-2014-100, reminding tax preparers that they must renew their PTINs for 2015 since all current numbers will expire on December 31.
 
A valid PTIN must appear on all federal tax returns or claims for refund if someone was paid to prepare them, according to the news release. "We ask that you renew your PTIN as soon as possible to avoid a last-minute rush," said Carol A. Campbell, director of the IRS Return Preparer Office.
 
The cost to renew a PTIN is $63 and the process can be completed online, the IRS said. First-time registrations also can be completed online for $64.25. Paper applications and renewals using Form W-12, IRS Paid Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) Application and Renewal, will be processed in four to six weeks, the IRS said.
