    Thanks to Carol Markman for bringing this up

    The IRS has posted the following:

    Dear Tax Professional,

     

    It is now Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) renewal season.

     

    All PTINs expire on Dec. 31 and must be renewed annually. You must have a valid PTIN if you plan to prepare any federal tax returns for compensation or you are an enrolled agent.

     

    The renewal fee is $50. Get started at www.IRS.gov/ptin.

     

    If you can't remember your User ID or password, use the "Forgot User ID" or "Forgot Password" links on the PTIN system login page. You will be asked to enter the email address associated with your account and the answer to your secret question.

     

    NOTE: The email address we sent this message to is your email address of record in the PTIN system. If you aren't sure of your User ID, try this email address as your User ID. 

     

    Keep up to date by following the IRS Return Preparer Office on Facebook. For the latest news and tools to stay connected, visit www.irs.gov/for-Tax-Pros.

     

    I renewed and it took a little time.  I am sure it will be a slower process as we get towards the end of the year
