2024 PTIN: If I buy the 2024 PTIN from the IRS website for $19.75, in February 2024, can I use it to do 2023 taxes for clients?

TurboTax cannot be used to prepare returns by paid tax preparers.  That would be a violation of the terms of service.   There is no way to enter a PTIN when you use do-it-yourself TurboTax.  All of the returns prepared using TT will say "Self-Prepared."

 

 

If you are a professional tax preparer with a PTIN then you will need to use one of the professional software versions.

I understand that TT is not for tax preparation. My question is regarding the PTIN only (not TT). I didn't know where else to look for an answer. I have searched on Google and can't find an answer to this question. If I buy a PTIN now in 2024, is the IRS ok with my doing 2023 tax returns for clients.
