IRS releases notice of renewal for enrolled agents

The IRS is advising enrolled agents whose Social Security number (SSN) ends in 0,1, 2 or 3, that they have until Jan. 31, to renew their status.  

Enrolled agents must renew their status every three years to remain eligible to practice before the IRS. Failure to renew by the deadline will result in the enrolled agent status becoming “inactive.” To renew: 

• Complete Form 8554, Application for Renewal of Enrollment to Practice Before the IRS, online at Pay.gov 

• Pay the $140 renewal fee 

All enrolled agents must also have an active Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) that must be entered on Form 8554.
