Can I prevent PTIN from printing on client copy of Form8867? I already have the box "X" to prevent PTIN from printing on Form 1040.

Why would you want to hide your PTIN from your client? They should be able to see it to verify that you are registered with IRS.

Because dishonest scam artists are STEALING PTINs and filing fraudulent returns. I have had a few clients that I DO NOT WANT having my PTIN or my EFIN. I found a solution--I do not give them a copy of the 8879. My husband worked in account fraud for Bank of America for years. BELIEVE ME there are people who get your information from tax returns when you apply for a loan--NOT CLIENTS--that do dishonest things with personal identification information.

Perhaps you need to go and read IRS Circular 230 again about your duty to AUDIT the returns IRS says YOUR PTIN was used to e-file returns for the year.

And it would be wonderful if that count was even remotely accurate. I have years where it indicates I have no returns filed, which is completely false.

Also, I believe the E-Services section suggest you review the return count, not CIR.230
