A tax preparer who was unhappy with the IRS trying to get a handle on all paid tax preparers and the PTIN fee filed a court case.
The user fee is collected for obtaining or renewing a preparer tax ID number is valid. The preparer challenged the fee, alleging that IRS lacked authority to impose it. The Appeals Court sided with the Internal Revenue Service
The preparer not happy with the $64 annual fee asked the Supreme Court to review that decision. They passed on hearing the case.
I wonder if this joker had any credentials to do tax returns beside a single copy of Turbo Tax that he was planning to use 50 times?
