Where to find PTIN tracking number?

[JWTinDC]

I have the renewal letter from the IRS for tax year 2026. I also have the PTIN renewal application for 2026. But yet Intuit is asking me to provide a PTIN tracking number which they say can be found on my online IRS account. I don't see it. This number is not shown on the application. Please help me find it.

I don't believe there is a tracking number for a PTIN. Are you sure intuit is not asking about your EFIN, and not your PTIN

I'm positive Intuit Pro Series is asking for a PTIN tracking number for purposes of verifying my PTIN status for the 2026 e-filing season.

I think youre asking about an EFIN, not a PTIN.  You need to upload the Application Summary from your EFIN account in order for Intuit to update your Electronic Filing Information.

Maybe the person you spoke with was saying the wrong letters, but Ive never heard of a PTIN tracking number (the EFIN application does have a tracking number though) or having to provide anything to Intuit about our PTINs, only EFINS

Just checking ... did YOU contact Intuit about this, or did you change Intuit software this year?

My point is that in the event THEY first contacted you, make sure it isn't a scam.
