2024 ANNUAL FEDERAL TAX REFRESHER (AFTR)
The Annual Federal Tax Refresher (AFTR) course exam must be successfully completed by December 31st (midnight local time) to receive credit. The IRS will not accept completions after this date. We report completions to the IRS based on the date and time you finished the exam.
This course is for non-exempt preparers (see who is exempt below) who want to receive an IRS Annual Filing Season Record of Completion. The 2024 AFTR course and test are required to be completed during 2024 by those return preparers to fulfill a requirement to be Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) participants during 2025.
CPAs AND ENROLLED AGENTS SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS COURSE.
Those with credentials who wish to earn the AFSP Record of Completion from the IRS may do so by taking a 3-hour Federal tax update in place of this course (6-hour AFTR). If you are an enrolled agent this course is not for you, it will not count toward IRS requirements. If you are an Enrolled Agent and wish to receive a record of completion you should take the 3-hour tax update course instead of the AFTR.
AFTR Exam Considerations
-You have a maximum of 3 continuous hours to complete the 100-question AFTR exam. Once the clock starts, it continues to run.
-You may attempt the test multiple times if you do not receive a minimum passing score of 70%.
-You must pass the exam by December 31st (midnight local time) to receive continuing education credit.
-Per IRS regulations, we cannot display any AFTR exam questions for completed exams.
