Ptan Number Search By Name
The PTAN is a number issued to providers when their enrollment is accepted into Medicare, explains Noridian Healthcare Solutions. The PTAN is used for communication with the Medicare Administrative Contractor and to authenticate providers when they use Internet- or phone-based self-help tools. TAN or Tax Deduction and Collection Account Number is a 10 digit alpha numeric number required to be obtained by all persons who are responsible for deducting or collecting tax. Under Section 203A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, it is mandatory to quote Tax Deduction Account Number (TAN) allotted by the Income Tax Department (ITD) on all TDS returns.
Is Your Tax Preparer Licensed?
Don't put your business and personal tax returns in the hands of an un-licensed, un-verified Tax Preparer. All Tax Professionals must now be registered the IRS.
As of January 1, 2011, all Paid Tax Preparers are required by law to register and obtain a PTIN (preparer tax identification number) from the IRS. Only CPAs, Enrolled Agents, Lawyers and RTRPs (registered tax return preparers) are permitted to prepare tax returns. Don't subject your federal tax returns to scrutiny by the IRS by using an unqualified tax preparer. Ensure that your tax professional is properly registered. Use the Tax Pro Registry to find a licensed tax preparer to prepare your taxes or verify that your current tax professional has been issued a PTIN number.
