Voluntary IRS continuing education, sufficient for AFSP for preparers who passed the RTRP exam.

Who this course is for

The IRS recommends all tax return preparers take at least 15 hours of continuing education every year. If you passed the RTRP competency exam, this course is all you need to participate in the AFSP — otherwise the 18-hour course with the AFTR is required.
