Current Enrolled Agent renewal period suspended
EAs with SSNs ending in 4,5, or 6 were scheduled to complete their 3 year renewal of their EA status between Nov 1 and Jan 31 2011. The renewals are on hold due to the IRS not finalizing how much to charge for the renewals. The fee is supposed to be dropping from the original $125 price due to the new additional requirement for EAs to pay the $64.25 fee for registering their PTINs (preparer tax identification numbers).
