Outcome

The program is important for a number of reasons. It encourages unregulated return preparers who don’t have to meet continuing professional education requirements to stay up to date on tax laws and changes. It helps lessen the risk to taxpayers from preparers who have no education in federal tax law or filing requirements. It also allows preparers without professional credentials to stand out from the competition by giving them a recognizable record of completion that they can show to their clients.

Assessment

All courses are followed by a comprehensive final exam required to complete the IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP). Results are provided in real time and a minimum score of 70% is required for CE credit. Once a successful score is achieved, we will submit your data file to the IRS based on your PTIN and report CE credits on your behalf.
