TAXMAN Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 Can someone answer a question concerning the AFTR and AFSP? If you were approved for the AFSP for filing the tax returns for 2015 and am not a CPA,EA do you need all 18 hours in 2016 to obtain the AFSP? Or do you just need the 6 hrs? I am confused Quote
jklcpa Posted September 2, 2016 Report Posted September 2, 2016 For most that have already passed the AFTR and are already in the AFSP, is will most likely be 15 hours including the 6 hr of tax refresher, BUT it might also depend on what state you are licensed and practicing in. See this chart from the IRS for CE requirements for the different designation holders: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/Annual_Filing_Season_Program_exempt_non-exempt_CE_chart_for_provider.pdf Two other links: https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/annual-filing-season-program https://www.irs.gov/tax-professionals/reduced-requirements-for-exempt-individuals-for-the-annual-filing-season-program-record-of-completion 2 Quote
mcb39 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Posted September 11, 2016 15 hours is correct, if you have passed the RTRP test. 1 Quote
