States and territories, side by side
All 58 US states and territories with the totals already rendered on each state page: total credentialed preparers, cities indexed, and the credential breakdown. Sorted by total preparers; source is the IRS PTIN holders public extract (FOIA).
Headline totals over the state and territory pages
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| States and territories compared | 58 |
| City listings summed over those state pages | 20,446 |
| Credentialed preparers summed over those city listings | 813,890 |
| Preparers on those state pages outside the numbered city listings | 1 |
| Largest state or territory by preparers | California — 95,384 |
| Smallest state or territory by preparers | American Samoa — 6 |
| Mean of the middle two of the 58 totals below, 7,774 and 7,793 | 7,783.5 |
| Preparers indexed on the home page (all rows of the extract) | 858,780 |
The preparer total on a state page counts every credentialed preparer for that state or territory, including rows with no city on file. Such a state page also shows a “City not specified” bucket, which is not one of its numbered city listings, so for one territory the two figures differ: New Jersey counts 25,214 preparers, 25,213 of them in the 643 cities listed; the remaining 1 is in its “City not specified” bucket. The other 57 states and territories have no such rows and their two figures agree.

Every figure in the table is the number already rendered on the matching state or territory page. The final row is the arithmetic sum of the column values above it, and it is not the same measure as the 858,780 total preparers shown on the home page, which counts every row of the extract, including rows whose business state code falls outside this list of 58 states and territories.
Listed on this page: all 58 states and territories with their total preparers, city counts and credential-breakdown numbers as rendered on each state page. Every count shown is taken from the pages linked here, which render the IRS PTIN holders public extract (FOIA) (irs.gov), data as of February 23, 2026.
