The PTIN renewal is not free for 2021 tax year. Renewing by December 2020, you have to pay $35.95 ($21 renewal of application fee and $14.95 for third party contractor fee for processing) This happened in July this year. You would think because of covid and loss of income for so many, this would’ve been waved this year.

Should I become a AFSP preparer before I enroll in E.A course? So I can get the basic knowledge on how to prepare taxes before I enroll in a more in depth longer course?

Hi Crysta, thanks for this video (and other videos!). I’m very new to tax in general. Yesterday I signed up for an in person class at a local office (popular chain) for the CTEC; this might be a dumb question but is it required prior to becoming an EA? (California) If not, would you recommend just putting more time into studying for the SEE instead? And would you suggest working with an office before going out on your own?

[@saurabh459]

CTEC isn't a prerequisite for being an EA. Yes Tax experience does help a ton

You mention that you used the study material from passkey. They create new material each year, do the laws change so dramatically that if I study the 2022 version, I would not do well taking the test(s) in 2023?

[@crystatyusea]

The law is updated every year so you want to be sure to use the current version for the current testing cycle. The testing cycle May 1, 2022-Feb 28, 2023 will be testing on 2021 tax law.

I have watched a ton of videos on EA/tax preparers however no one talks about what things you cant have on your records that will prevent a person from getting approved as an EA or maybe it doesn't matter? Let's say you have been arrested at some point in your life or you are on a tax payment plan please advise.

Answer: In general, any criminal offense resulting in a felony conviction under federal tax laws or a felony conviction related to dishonesty or a breach of trust, that is less than ten years old. Question: What types of tax issues could negatively impact consideration of an application for enrollment? Answer: In general, any overdue tax return that has not been filed or any unpaid taxes unless acceptable payment arrangements have been established.

Do you have to have a course certification to get a PTIN? And does getting your certification require you to have a certain amount of hours of experience? Because it seems like I can't be certified without experience, but I can't have experience without being certified.
