Paid preparer Paper Application Up on IRS Website -- Form W-12

Apparently there IS a paper application for PTIN - the IRS said previously
there would not be a paper form, but they must have changed their minds.
Form W-12 will replace Form W-7P. The new form is at

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw12.pdf

The instructions say it will take 4-6 weeks if filed by mail.

I would still recommend waiting for the web-based system to open - the IRS
has said it will be up by the end of next week, so we won't have to wait
much longer. There is a site up already for the PTIN but it hasn't gone
live. The form might still be of interest to see what questions they will be
asking.
