  • You will be encouraged to remain current with changing tax laws.
  • You will receive the AFSP – Record of Completion that shows clients and potential clients that you are a well-educated tax preparer who is dedicated to your chosen profession.

What is the deadline to complete the Annual Filing Season Program (ASFP)

The approved continuing education program must be completed within the calendar year to qualify for the 2016 filing season.

What is the future of this program?

The Annual Filing Season Program will be an interim step to help taxpayers and encourage education for unenrolled tax return preparers. The IRS continues to pursue legislative authority to mandate a continuing competency program. In the meantime, the IRS will administer a uniform voluntary examination in future years to ensure basic return preparer competency.

What are the requirements for the Annual Filing Season Program Completion?

Completion of courses from an IRS-approved provider, like My Tax Courses Online, will satisfy the completion. The yearly requirement for 2016 and beyond for Non-Exempt status tax preparers is 18 hours. This consists of a 6-hour Annual Federal Tax Refresher (AFTR), 10 hours of federal tax law, and 2 hours of ethics.  The yearly requirement for 2016 and beyond for Exempt status tax preparers is 15 hours. This consists of 10 hours of federal tax law, 3 hours of tax law updates, and 2 hours of ethics. For more information, please view the following IRS document.  CLICK HERE.
