Gleim Annual Filing Season Program:

The Gleim Annual Filing Season Program is specifically crafted for those who wish to obtain an IRS AFSP–Record of Completion. The Annual Filing Season Program includes the Gleim Annual Federal Tax Refresher Course, a 2-hour Tax Ethics CE course, and 10 hours of Tax Law CE courses.

The AFSP allows you to be included on the IRS public database of return preparers and differentiates you from other preparers.

Gleim Annual Federal Tax Refresher Course

• A 6-hour course covering filing season issues and tax law updates culminating in a comprehensive, 100-question test. Four attempts to pass the 100-question, End of Course test are permitted.

12 Hours of CE

• Ethics for Tax Practitioners – 2 hours
• Individual: Exclusions from GI – 4 hours
• Schedule C Hot Spots: Sole Proprietors – 2 hours

Upon completion of each element of the program, Gleim will report your credit to the IRS. Completing all elements qualifies you to apply to the IRS for the AFSP–Record of Completion.
