Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) Information

The IRS’s Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) is a voluntary program designed to recognize the efforts of non-credentialed tax return preparers who increase their knowledge through continuing education (CE). To learn more about the benefits of participating in this program, visit the IRS Annual Filing Season Program page.

To earn an AFSP Record of Completion for the 2025 filing season, preparers must:

  • Earn specified continuing education (CE) credits by December 31, 2024 – see the table below or IRS Pub 5646.
  • Obtain or renew a PTIN for the 2024 filing season after the PTIN renewal season begins in October 2024.
  • Consent to adhere to the obligations in Circular 230, Subpart B and section 10.51.
