Governing agency

The Registered Tax Return Return Preparer (RTRP) license is issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to tax professionals who meet specific criteria. This license is also sometimes referred to as "IRS Registered Tax Preparer," "Paid Tax Preparer" and "Licensed Tax Preparer," but the correct term is "Registered Tax Return Preparer."
