​​​​​​​​​​​Annual Federal Tax Refresher (AFTR) On-Demand Online Workshop

6 CPE for AFSP, CPA, CRTP​

Summary

Earning the Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) - Record of Completion gives tax preparers the right to discuss client tax information before IRS employees rather than only being able to request information. During this online workshop, your instructor will cover federal tax law topics in three domains: new tax law/recent updates; general review; and practices, procedures and professional responsibility. To engage in limited practice, an unenrolled preparer must agree to adhere to the practice requirements of Circular 230, Subpart B and Section 10.51. Learn the changes to the complex topics, along with tips and the necessary information to pass the examination and obtain the AFSP - Record of Completion on your first attempt.
