Key Benefits of Earning Your AFSP - ROC

The Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) is a voluntary IRS initiative designed to recognize unenrolled tax preparers who commit to a higher level of professionalism. By completing specific continuing education (CE) requirements, you can stay ahead of tax law changes and distinguish your practice.

Limited Representation Rights

Unlike non-credentialed preparers, AFSP participants can represent clients whose returns they prepared and signed before IRS revenue agents and customer service representatives.

Public Directory Listing

You will be included in the official IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications, making it easier for new clients to find you.

Marketplace Distinction

Use the "AFSP Record of Completion" to demonstrate your competency and commitment to ethics.
