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?

Course Description

A recent Supreme Court case and related law changes in many states have resulted in significant new state sales tax obligations on many SaaS providers. It’s important to understand that these changes could result in new tax collection responsibilities on your business even in states where you have operated without them in the past. These changes mean that SaaS providers may now be required to collect and remit sales taxes in states where they have operated for years without any obligation.

If your business crosses the economic nexus threshold in a state that imposes sales tax on services, you will need to bill your clients for those amounts and remit them to the state. In fact, you’ll need to start tracking your transactions in the state from the outset in order to know when you cross a threshold that triggers a sales tax obligation.

This online CPE course will examine the ramifications economic nexus has had on providers of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Service providers face significant burdens in determining which services are subject to tax due to the varying definitions of taxable services amongst states. As the number of businesses delivering their services through the Internet grows, states will continue to consider SaaS as a potential for expanding the tax base and increasing revenue.
