CE Requirement

Complete 30 CE hours for each annual renewal cycle.

Ethics Requirement

Include at least 2 CE hours in professional conduct and ethics.

Initial CE Hours

CE is waived for the first renewal of a tax consultant. If a preparer upgrades to consultant, CE is still owed on the first consultant renewal because the first renewal was already used when the person became a preparer.

Subject Areas

Accepted topics include taxation, practitioner ethics, accounting and payroll theory, estate, tax, or investment planning, computer technology, and tax representation. Unacceptable examples include general business management, labor law, economic forecasts, and office-equipment operation. Read More.

Learning Modes

100% of CE can be obtained through self-study.

Eligible Learning Activities

Live courses, interactive webinars, webcasts, IRS telephone forums, college courses, teaching, qualifying correspondence, online study, and certain in-company instruction can count when all rule conditions are met. Teaching earns 2 CE hours per teaching hour, but no more than half of the annual requirement may come from teaching.

CE Deadline

Complete acceptable CE by the May 31 consultant license expiration date each year.
