CPAs must consider if they remain on active status or inactive status. CPAs are required to have “active status” if they prepare tax returns for a public accounting firm; they issue compilation reports other than through a CPA firm; or they work for a State Legislature
Auditor. Inactive status may mean they simply went to work for a corporate organization or do not meet the state requirements for annual education credits for that year. You must refer to the individual states to understand requirements since they vary.
Admission to the Bar in the United States is the granting or permission by a particular court to practice law in that court. Each state has its own rules and sets it rules for that state or federal jurisdiction. A lawyer who is admitted in one state is not automatically allowed to practice in any other. Some states have reciprocal agreements that allow attorneys from other states to practice without sitting for another full bar exam; such agreements differ significantly among the states.

I believe you mean that a CPA must have an active license if they want to obtain a PTIN and sign tax returns. A CPA can work for a public accounting firm without and active license as long as they do not sign off on assurance services, i.e., issue an audit report or financial statement. Thus, a CPA with an inactive license may prepare a tax return that is reviewed and signed by an active CPA with a PTIN.
Thanks sincerely Robert for the clarification on active licenses. It is so nice to have your thoughts and direction on the matter.
