### Pennsylvania regulatory overview

The verified federal baseline is the IRS PTIN requirement for people paid to prepare, or substantially assist in preparing, federal returns, subject to the IRS’s stated exceptions. This guide does not assert a separate statewide occupational license for every general tax preparer in Pennsylvania.

Evidence[Internal Revenue Service](https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/frequently-asked-questions-do-i-need-a-ptin "Frequently Asked Questions: Do I Need a PTIN?")[Internal Revenue Service](https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/continuing-education-for-tax-professionals "Continuing Education for Tax Professionals")

### Federal tax preparer requirements

PTIN requirement

**A person paid to prepare, or assist with substantially all of, a federal tax return or refund claim generally must obtain a PTIN.**The IRS lists limited form- and activity-based exceptions, so preparers should review the current rule for their work.

Individual identifier

**A PTIN belongs to one person and cannot be shared by an office.**Each compensated preparer who meets the rule needs their own current PTIN.

Representation rights

**A PTIN alone does not provide unlimited representation rights before the IRS.**Enrolled agents, CPAs, and attorneys have unlimited representation rights; other preparer categories have different or limited rights.

Evidence[Internal Revenue Service](https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/frequently-asked-questions-do-i-need-a-ptin "Frequently Asked Questions: Do I Need a PTIN?")[Internal Revenue Service](https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/understanding-tax-return-preparer-credentials-and-qualifications "Understanding Tax Return Preparer Credentials and Qualifications")

### Choose the authority your tax work requires

1.  01
    
    #### Define the work
    
    Determine whether you will prepare federal returns for compensation, provide only support activities, or represent taxpayers before the IRS.
    
2.  02
    
    #### Obtain and maintain a PTIN
    
    If the federal rule applies, register for your individual PTIN and keep it current for each filing season.
    
3.  03
    
    #### Select any additional credential
    
    Compare enrolled agent, CPA, attorney, and Annual Filing Season Program pathways according to the education, practice, and representation rights your work needs.

### Current federal PTIN fee

PTIN application or renewal user fee

**$18.75**The IRS states that the fee is non-refundable. Verify the amount in the current PTIN application materials before paying.
