Tax Procrastinators Unite!

Back to blog homepage for: Gail Perry - Voice of the Editor
I don’t know about you, but I for one am happy to know that the IRS is accommodating procrastinators and allowing post -12/31 PTIN registrations. It's not a biggie, since late registrations would have been allowed anyhow, but now at least we have the blessing of the powers that be to file late and blame it on technical difficulties at the IRS.

And speaking of tax season, AccountingWEB recognizes that accountants spend their springtime faced with tons of work, little or no exercise, and not enough hours in the day. We feel your pain! Relieve the stress with an afternoon break taken from our library of workplace fitness exercises, quick timeouts that give you an energy boost right in the comfort of your office. And don't let those long hours cause the day to get away from you. The leaders in the profession have shared their favorite time management tips with us, and we're rolling them out throughout the month – new tips every day to help you lasso every minute in the day.

Thanks for your comment Joe - I had exactly the same experience. Couldn't find where I created a password in the past, and they wouldn't send me my password in e-mail when I requested it. anyone else with the same problem?

ptin online asked for password, and even though I paid for it online last year, I don't recall setting a password, much less a reminder key word. Any one else with these problems? I was simply told have to mail in W-12 again, as a renewal with a check instead, but what if I need to access my account, something about a mailbox in it!? IRS is of no help nor sympathy, someone advised I call their IT department, where ever that is?
