EA Renewal Form

[dtlee]

In case anyone has been waiting for this, the IRS finally posted the new 8554 here:

Sorry....I just saw that this was posted elsewhere. Please forgive the duplicate.

Thanks.

What do you think about the Part 1, where you put in your CPE hours.

There is CPE

and there is ETHICS.


Do you think they want the TOTAL CPE in line one, or the hours without Ethics? There are no instructions. I have way more than I need, but the form is not clear.

When I filled it out online I listed them separately. I did not include the 2 hours of ethics with the "CPE". Hope that was right.

Likewise

Dany,
I did the same on my renewal - I had my hours separated for Ethics at 2 hours from the other CPE hours so they were separated on the 8554

I am so glad this is done - now we wait to receive our EA renewals via mail, which might take 90 days or longer

Since I completed online and paid online, I will check my bank in the next few days to make sure the fee has been drafted

I still feel there could be "hicupps" with this renewal period

I noticed that the revision form was dated February 2011 - but it wasn't released until yesterday.

I believe the CPE hours is the TOTAL CPE hours, and then disclose out of those hours, how many were devoted to ethics.

Glad that you posted it. Apparently the other header did not indicate that it had to do with the renewal form and I just thought it was another of the endless back and forth discussions and did not look at it.

Agree with Uncle Sam.
