Can I take this course again if I have taken it before?

Yes, if the course has been updated since you last took it. When we update our tax courses to a new tax year, we give the course a new number. You can check your course history to see if you have taken the course for this year before now. Or you can always call or email and we will check for you. If you have forgotten your user ID and/or password, we can send it to you automatically.

Wondering why we offer a free course, and if there are any catches?

Short answer, we want you to try out our easy to use course system, and experience has shown that most people will like the FunCPE course format once they try it. No, there is no catch and we don't call you or anything bothersome like that. You can read the long answer to this question here.

Our free course is updated annually, so you can retake it each year.

When are tax courses updated?

We update our CPE courses as soon as the IRS publishes updated IRS publications. The IRS updates usually occur at the end of December or early the next year for the tax year just ended.

Why do tax law changes occur at the end of the year, rather than at the beginning?

  • During 2011, legislators will be changing tax laws for the current (2011) tax year.
  • Once the laws are finalized (often this occurs as late as December), the IRS begins releasing updated publications.
