NOTE: The voluntary IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP) requires that CE Sponsors collect PTINs from IRS professionals who wish to receive IRS credit. IRS PTIN holders (including Enrolled Agents) should enter their IRS PTIN into Checkpoint Learning so that course completions can be reported to the IRS. You do not need to enter your PTIN for each course you take; you only need to add it once. If you have any questions on how to do this, please contact us 800-231-1860.
