EFINs need to be verified with Intuit. Not sure how you verify a PTIN.

I dont think Intuit cross checks PTINS to be valid, do you?
I think its a program glitch, Im guessing they got this message as well

Possibly IRS checks. If you did not renew your PTIN, it is not unreasonable that an efile could be rejected. I have always been a good boy, so I don't know.

I do not THINK Intuit verifies PTIN, but then again I could not log onto my program today because I forgot my user name.

In the preparer information section of the program just check the box that the PTIN has been verified - by you - they just want to make sure you have entered the correct number.
