Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP)

The Annual Filing Season Program is a voluntary program designed to encourage non-credentialed tax return preparers to participate in continuing education (CE) courses. Drake Software offers a 6-hour AFTR course on DrakeCPE.com.

The AFTR course and required Continuing Education courses must be completed by December 31st​ (prior to the beginning of the tax season) in order to be eligible to receive a Record of Completion.
