    Hi,

    I just got my license and I am planning to prepare some tax returns as a side job. Do I apply for a PTIN now or do I wait early next year when I am actually going to prepare?

    Thank you.

    PTIN season registration and renewals open in Fall for the following tax season, so you should file now if they are open for registrations.
    To be sure you can wait until November, but I think I got an e-mail to renew my PTIN today.

    The IRS is currently involved in a lawsuit over charging PTIN fees. I believe they are as of now, barred from charging the fees, but are trying to get them reinstated on appeal.
