This week the IRS Return Preparer Office is mailing letters to approximately 3,000 return preparers who are preparing tax returns without a valid preparer tax identification number (PTIN).
Letter 4731 is being sent to 1,100+ people who are using a legacy PTIN that was obtained prior to September 2010 and has never been renewed in the new online PTIN system.
Letter 4732 is being sent to 1,800+ people who are using a social security number as their preparer ID number instead of a PTIN.
If you receive a letter and feel the information is incorrect, please call 1-636-255-1597.
If you need assistance in obtaining or renewing a PTIN, should call the PTIN helpline number: 1-877-613-PTIN (7846).
