Online PTIN Application is Up, but has some bugs

The IRS website is active for applying for Preparer Tax Identification Numbers.  The website is: http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/article/0,,id=210909,00.html.  As of today 9/28/10, we still have not been able to successfully get a PTIN application put through.  The IRS says that they are experiencing issues with the online tool, but are working to iron out the bugs as we speak.  All tax preparers must register, even if you already have a PTIN from a previous tax season.  The IRS has a help line setup for questions and problems with the online application tool.  The helpline number is: 877-613-PTIN (7846)
