The “Return Preparer Office Federal Tax Return Preparer Statistics” have been updated
through 12/10/2012.
There
are now 44,270 RTRPs – previously unenrolled preparers (and some EAs) who have
taken and passed the IRS initial competency test.
But
there are still over 300,000 - 304,077
to be exact – “preparers with provisional PTINs who have not yet passed the
RTRP test”.
So
300,000+ tax return preparers have to sit for and pass the test in the next 12
months.
Once
again I ask – is the IRS really going to force 100,000 to 200,000 tax preparers
out of business?
The
IRS must face reality. There must be grandfathering!
