TaxPreparersCE.com is a continuing education website for U.S. tax return preparers. Its materials describe it as an IRS-Approved sponsor with more than 20 years of experience in tax-related continuing education. The site has now been merged into Sequoia CPE, and users are directed to SequoiaCPE.com. Certificates for courses completed previously can be accessed through the new Sequoia CPE account using the original TaxPreparersCE.com login information.
Its main products are course packages designed to meet the annual continuing education requirements of the IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP). The 18-hour AFTR Package is for preparers who must take the AFTR, and includes 6 hours of Annual Federal Tax Refresher, 10 hours of Federal Tax Law, and 2 hours of Ethics. The 15-hour AFTR-Exempt Package is for those who do not need to take the AFTR, and includes 10 hours of Federal Tax Law, 3 hours of Federal Tax Updates, and 2 hours of Ethics. Study materials are provided as PDFs and can be downloaded from the user account after purchase, with exams completed online. A score of 70% or higher grants immediate access to a Completion Certificate, and the platform also reports credits to the IRS.
Pricing is straightforward: the 18-hour AFTR package costs $79.50, while the 15-hour exempt package costs $64.50. The delivery format is closer to “self-study materials + online quizzes”; there is no visible information about live classes, recorded video lessons, or 1-on-1 tutoring. The AFTR exam has 100 questions and a 3-hour time limit, while other exams are untimed and include 5 questions per credit hour. For practitioners who only need compliant continuing education credits, this model is efficient, but its interactivity and instructional depth may be limited.
The strengths are that the course structure closely matches IRS AFSP requirements, pricing is transparent, materials are available for immediate download, the certificate issuance and credit reporting process is clearly defined, and phone and email customer support are provided. The drawbacks are also clear: the page states that “all AFSP courses must be completed by 12/31/21, with the next season opening in summer 2022,” indicating that the captured content may be outdated. Since the original site has been merged into Sequoia CPE, actual courses, pricing, and the purchase process should be verified on the new site. In addition, payment methods, refund policy, and course language are not specified in the text.
It is mainly suitable for tax preparers working within the U.S. tax system who need to complete IRS AFSP annual continuing education. It is not a good fit for general beginners in accounting/tax or learners focused on Chinese tax law. Access from China is not described in the text, and payment methods are also unknown. If using it from mainland China, users should first confirm whether the Sequoia CPE website is accessible, whether it accepts usable international payment methods, and whether certificates and credits are still reported under current IRS rules. When considering alternatives, priority should be given to comparing other IRS-approved continuing education sponsors.
