Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) renewal season is underway for all return preparers for 2022, as is participation in the Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) for 2022.

The IRS Return Preparer Office (RPO) is sending the message in the first attachment to all PTIN holders over the next few days. A general news release will also be issued this week.

To promote Annual Filing Season Program participation, RPO has sent the message in the second attachment to non-credentialed PTIN holders.
