Continuing Education Credits
Nationwide Tax Forums Online is a qualified sponsor of continuing education. The organization is registered with the IRS Return Preparer Office (RPO) as well as the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).
Tax pros have to verify that they completed the seminar. This is done by creating an account, then answering review questions over the course of the seminar, and completing a short test at the end.
While some practitioners may choose the option to view the seminars for free, this choice does not include review questions or the final test—and does not earn any credits.
For more information on the online seminars, see the IRS Nationwide Tax Forums Online.
