How many CPE credits do I need to earn?

The number of CPE credits required purely depends upon your board requirements. If you’re a CPA, you can click here to know more about it. If you’re an Enrolled Agent or a Tax Professional, go to this page.

What is the different between CPE and CE credits?

CPE credits are governed by NASBA regulations and CE credits are governed by IRS regulations. Enrolled Agents, Enrolled Retirement Plan Agents and other tax return preparers approved by IRS are required to obtain CE credits. CPE credits are required for CPAs. We are approved by NASBA and IRS for publishing webinars for CPE and/or CE credits. Not all webinars qualify for CPE and CE credits. Therefore, each webinar mentions how many CPE and/or CE credits is it eligible for.

To earn your CPE credits, you need to fulfill the attendance requirements laid down by NASBA. The guidelines state that the participant is required to remain logged into the webinar as per the NASBA minimum time requirements and answer all the poll questions. Only when both the conditions are fulfilled does a participant become eligible for the CPE credits. The following table contains the NASBA Minimum time requirements and no. of polling questions that need to be answered for available CPE credit. Kindly note that you will be required to complete an evaluation form before receiving your CPE credits:

When is CE reported to the IRS?

It is the responsibility of the webinar participant to provide a valid PTIN number on the myCPE account. Further, you also have to ensure that the webinar you are enrolled for is eligible for CE credits. It is important to note that to earn your credits, the time and polling requirement for the IRS CE and NASBA CPE are the same. Though, IRS does NOT issue partial credits. This means that the webinars of 90 minutes and 150 minutes would earn you only 1 CE and 2 CE, respectively. You will not earn 1.5 CE and 2.5 CE for the webinar. myCPE reports the details of CE credit to IRS at the IRS designated schedule – mostly at the end of the quarter.

I attended a webinar but it shows in the ‘Did not Attend’ section.

If you registered for the webinar and it shows that you didn’t attend, it could mean two things: 1) You didn’t answer all the polling questions 2) You haven’t filled and submitted your evaluation form. In both cases, you won’t be able to get your credits. In case you submitted your polling questions and evaluation form and still show the webinar in the ‘Did not Attend’ section, please submit your query to support@my-cpe.com or contact through our chat support on the website.

I don’t see a certificate in the ‘My Certificate’ tab. What should I do?
