Federal Court Strikes Down PTIN Fees, Upholds PTINs
Journal of Accountancy Link to more items from this source
June 7, 2017

"According to the court, because the court in Loving found that Congress did not authorize a license requirement for tax return preparers, there are no longer any restrictions on who may obtain a PTIN. As a result, there is no 'special benefit' of being able to prepare tax returns for compensation (slip op. at 15). Therefore, PTINs are not a 'service or thing of value' and the IRS cannot charge a fee for issuing them. In a separate order accompanying the opinion, the court ordered the IRS to 'provide each class member with a full refund of all PTIN fees paid.' " [Steele v. U.S., No. 14-1523 (D.D.C. June 1, 2017)]  MORE >>
