The Annual Filing Season Program is intended to recognize and encourage unenrolled tax return preparers who voluntarily increase their knowledge and improve their filing season competency through continuing education (CE). Completion of the Annual Federal Tax Refresher is a necessary step in obtaining an Annual Filing Season Program Record of Completion. This Annual Federal Tax Refresher covers federal tax law topics in three domains: New Tax Law/Recent Updates; General Review; and Practices, Procedures and Professional Responsibility. The Annual Filing Season Program is a voluntary program.
Information on the AFTR courses offered at the 2026 Tax Forum will be provided at a later date.
