New registration exemptions in New York

The Governor of New York has signed legislation (see link below) that exempts non-New York CPAs, public accountants, and attorneys, who prepare New York tax returns, from the registration requirement mandated by a law enacted earlier in New York in 2009. The new law also clarifies the people supervised by any CPA, PA, or attorney are exempt from New York's Tax Preparer Registration Program. Unfortunately, the new law does not exempt EAs, so they must continue to register with the New York State Department of Tax and Finance if preparing New York returns.

(NY Tax Code §32 (S59-B (Ch. 09-59); A40023 (Ch. 09-503) signed on December 4, 2009); To view a copy of the new law, click here.
