Now that the enrollment renewal cycle has finished, the IRS will begin their annual clean-up for the following starting next week:

• Those who have SSNs ending in 0, 1, 2, or 3 and did not renew.
• Those who did not renew during the 2016 cycle will be moved to inactive status. (5,000+)
• Those who did not renew during the 2013 and 2016 cycles will be moved to terminated status. (2,000+)

Letters will be sent to all advising them of this action. Anyone in inactive status can still submit a late renewal for approval. Anyone in terminated status must re-take the SEE to apply for re-enrollment.

If an EA disagrees and has a record of previously renewing their EA status, they should contact the number on the letter for the Office of Enrollment:  855-472-5540.
