Idaho CPA CPE Requirements: Annual Reporting and License Renewal

Idaho CPA CPE requirements generally call for 80 credits across a rolling two-year period, with at least 30 each year and no more than 50 counted annually. Four credits must cover ethics. First-year licensees instead take a two-hour Idaho-specific ethics course; the AICPA ethics course used for licensing does not count. 


Complete qualifying courses by December 31 and submit CPE through the Board's online system by January 31. Idaho CPA license renewal is moving to a staggered biennial schedule, but annual CPE reporting continues. Check your individual renewal date and retain completion certificates for five years in case of audit.
