The paper application form for applying for a Preparer Tax Identification number has been released by the IRS.  The new IRS PTIN application form, W-12, will be replacing the previous IRS PTIN form W7-P.  This new form is available on the IRS’ website at: IRS form W-12.

It is overwhelmingly advised to apply for your PTIN or to renew your PTIN online, and the online application site is scheduled to be up and operational early next week.  This will drastically speed up the approval process for your PTIN.

Form 8945, PTIN Supplemental Application for U.S. Citizens without a Social Security Number due to Religious beliefs and form 8946, PTIN application for foreign individuals without a social security numbers are both now available on the IRS websites as well.
