- IRS PTIN register
1 preparer tax identification number holder lists this provider as its business: 1 enrolled agent. By state: CA 1. The address most often given is 25 West Easy Street, SIMI VALLEY CA 93065.
Established by Internal Revenue Service, PTIN holder Freedom of Information Act extract updated 2026-02-23 · checked
From the IRS Freedom of Information Act extract of PTIN holders, updated 2026-02-23, matched on the provider’s business name at its known office or on its website domain. A PTIN holder registers their own business name and address, so this counts who names this provider in that register and nothing more. It is not a headcount and it does not measure who a provider can call on: employees who file under a personal name, contract practitioners, of-counsel attorneys and professionals at partner firms do not appear here. The extract refreshes twice a year. The provider names no individual practitioner on the pages checked. TRC publishes both figures because they are the two things a reader can check. They measure different things, and a difference between them is not by itself evidence that the provider’s statement is wrong.
