RTRP test

Super Mom, I believe I see where you are going

Super Mom, I believe I see where you are going. I assume you are an EA and why not kill two birds with one stone and add the RTRP to your EA. The topic of an EA adding the RTRP has been vetted galor on this website. I would take the RTRP exam if I knew for sure if I failed the RTRP, I would still hang on to my EA. Personally I think the IRS should just give us (EA's) the RTRP certificate.

Continuing Education

Taking and passing the RTRP test does not earn any continuing education credit.

The continuing education requirement is totally separate from the test.

You can earn 10 hours of CE credit by taking an exam prep course. You earn this credit by taking the course. Most exam prep courses have a course exam at the end of the course, and you have to pass that exam in order to get the 10 hours of credit.

If you pass the course exam, you get the 10 hours of credit, regardless of whether you take the RTRP exam in the same year, and regardless of whether you actually pass the RTRP exam.

You still need the other 2 hours of ethics and 3 hours of update.

Was thinking, that even though the testing requirement isn't until 2013, I was thinking if I went ahead and took the test in 2012, it would take care of the CPE's for 2012, but I can't seem to find if that is actually allowed. Does anyone know?
