Instructions
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.
Purpose of form. Use this form to apply for a preparer tax identification number (PTIN) only if you are a paid tax return preparer and you do not want to disclose your social security number (SSN) on returns you prepare. If you use a PTIN, you will meet the requirement under section 6109(a)(4) of furnishing your identifying number on returns you prepare. The PTIN cannot be used in place of the employer identification number (EIN) of the tax preparation firm.
Note. You are not required to get a PTIN. If you prefer, you may continue to use your SSN on tax returns you prepare. However, you must use either an SSN or PTIN on returns you are paid to prepare. Do not write “PTIN applied for” in the Paid Preparer’s Use Only section of the return. Certain states and localities may not accept the PTIN as satisfying a requirement for a preparer identification number on their tax returns.
