2018 Annual Filing Season Program
Pacific Northwest Tax School’s Program qualifies tax preparers for the IRS’s new Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP). The IRS has implemented the Program to recognize and encourage unenrolled tax return preparers to voluntarily increase their knowledge and improve their filing season competency through continuing education (CE).
The AFSP will allow unenrolled return preparers to obtain a record of completion when they voluntarily complete a required amount of continuing education (CE), including:
A six (6) hour Annual Federal Tax Refresher (AFTR) course that covers filing season issues and tax law updates, as well as a knowledge-based comprehension test administered at the end of the course by the CE Provider. Enrolled Agents will not receive any IRS continuing education credits for the Annual Federal Tax Refresher course.
A two (2) hour ethics course, and
Ten (10) hours of CPE covering other areas of federal tax law.
