Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP)
The Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) recognizes the efforts of tax return preparers who aspire to a higher level of professionalism. Those who choose to participate in this year’s program can meet the requirements by obtaining specified hours of continuing education and meeting certain other guidelines by Dec. 31. For non-credentialed tax preparers, earning the AFSP Record of Completion also provides a critical benefit for the upcoming filing season: the right to represent clients before the IRS.
