Massachusetts CPA CPE Requirements for Course Selection and Renewal

Massachusetts CPA CPE requirements call for 80 credits every two years, including four in professional ethics. CPA licenses renew by June 30 in the applicable odd- or even-numbered year, and credits cannot carry into the next cycle.  


The Massachusetts Board does not preapprove CPE programs, so check their professional relevance and completion documentation before enrolling. For individual study, retain completion evidence and any required learning logs. 


During Massachusetts CPA renewal, use the state’s eLIPSE portal and maintain records showing each sponsor, course title, date, location, and hours. First-time renewals have different prorated requirements based on the initial license issuance month.
