For the first time i am having problems renewing my PTIN.  Tried to update password, no luck.  Should I create a new account?  Any help is appreciated.

Are you having problems getting the secret code from the IRS or what kind of problems are you having?  I don't think you want to create a new account.

I am having a problem getting the code from the IRS.

Thank you.

When they are telling you they are sending the code, you need to check a box on that screen to actually tell them to send it.

I successfully renewed mine just now.  I should have read @IRonMaN 's advice first -- you have to ask twice to get them to email a code once.  And then it takes a few minutes.  And then you have to change your password and do it all again.  Then when I paid the $30.75 I got a screen that said "Congratulations!  Your PTIN Renewal was successful."  And it also says "Status:  Expired."

They also ask when my professional accreditation expires.  I don't pay my State Bar dues until January, but I enter "December 2023" anyway.  Don't tell anyone at IRS.

Still not working for me...I ask for a code, and it might be hours before it is generated and arrives...of course, by then, it is beyond the 10 minute limit...
