PtIN Application

[Snaggletooth]

I'm much more interested in preparing taxes for my customers than jumping through hoops for the IRS, otherwise I wouldn't be asking this stupid question.

On the application for a PTIN, it asks (on box 12) for your Expiration Date on your E A credentials. I was notified in May 2021 that my status as an EA had been de-activated since there was no record of credentials for 2019. I supplied all the CPE credentials for the missing year (and more also), and mailed all of this to an EA certification office in Franklin TN.

To date, I have heard nothing from that office, or any other office with the IRS. It is futile to try to call them.

Any advice???

Thanks. I actually did get through on the line, but the party couldn't unravel the problems.
