Ah, you having left the US is new information but that is material to the answer to your question.

In that case, you should not be filing F.8944.  Since your situation is covered under one of the administrative exemptions, you ought to file (1) a F.8946 when you renew your PTIN even though you have an SSN and (2) a F.8948 with each return you prepare.

In the event you are or become a member of a firm that is eligible for EFIN, they may then apply for you a Foreign EFIN.  The IRS, however, is not familiar with the process, based on my personal experience.
