IRS COLLABORATING WITH MY CPE OVER BUILDING AWARENESS ON DATA PROTECTION, IRS E-SERVICES, MORE

The IRS has recently joined hands with myCPE in their initiative for Tax Professionals’ Awareness for the filing season in the year 2022. Under this program, the IRS will be conducting a series of live webinars on myCPE starting March 10 through April 12 and aims to educate at least 15,000 to 20,000 tax professionals in the due course.

These webinars will be available completely FREE of cost on myCPE, as the platform has decided to make these courses more convenient and accessible to every professional. This offer is going to benefit CPAs, EAs, AFSPs, CRTPs, ORTPs, MRTPs, and other Tax Professionals.

They not only are meant to spread awareness, but also provide CPE/CE credits as correspondingly required by different professionals.

This series of live webinars will include a fundamental and advanced understanding of the essential data protection for tax professionals, federal tax, recent tax updates, IRS e-services, TIGTA, Circular 230, and other substantial changes that will affect the individuals, businesses, and Not-for-profit entities in the future.
