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 Annual Federal Tax Refresher Course (AFTR) 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.

The Annual Federal Tax (AFTR) course and bundles will be available in June 2026.
