    Ptin

    On Monday I tried unsuccessfully to obtain new PTIN online. Failed, because IRS didn't recognize me. I checked and rechecked everything to make sure tax return info was correct;
    name verbatim from the return; SSN - of course!; and tax year, 2009 - right, the last year I filed. But after three tries, IRS could not verify my identity.

    Today I tried again entering 2009 for the tax year; again IRS insulted me by pretending not to recognize me.
    On a whim, I went back and entered 2008 for the tax year and PRESTO! I'm in. Even got my old PTIN on the spot.

    One trick; don't use the drop down list to get to United States of America since it takes a lot of scrolling. Simply type it in the box.

    I also had to use the 2008 tax return info. I also had to use a different e-mail. But I finally got my old number. One more thing to cross off my list for tax season,
