In light of the final ruling in the “Loving” case, which doesn’t give the IRS authority to regulate paid income tax preparers (except for preparers governed by circular 230, like Enrolled Agents, CPAs and others), the IRS has reinstated some paid preparers it had suspended or disbarred before the case results:
