What type of continuing education credit will I earn for attending University of Minnesota tax courses?

We have applied for the following continuing education credits for the Ag Tax Issues course:

• Internal Revenue Service (IRS): 8 IRS credit hours
• Continuing Professional Education credits (CPE): 8 hours
• Certified Financial Planner (CFP): 8 continuing education credits
• Continuing Legal Education (CLE): 6.5 hours

The University has not been pre-approved as a provider for insurance or real estate credits. However, you may apply for credit through the Minnesota Department of Commerce, and approval may be granted.

The University’s tax course is exempt from having a NASBA provider number. According to the MN Administrative Rules 3300, the Minnesota Board of Accountancy accepts our courses for CPE credit. Participants should list “University of Minnesota” in the area for the provider number on the application.

CLEs are self-reported and should be reported through the Minnesota State Board of Continuing Legal Education. To find a course, use the course title “University of Minnesota Income Tax Short Course” and enter the start date of your respective course. The sponsor name is University of Minnesota Extension.

CFPs are reported through the Land Grant University Tax Education Foundation (LGUTEF). LGUTEF has obtained an umbrella accreditation (except for ethics) for the Certified Financial Planning Board for LGUTEF member school seminars using the National Income Tax Workbook.

Will my continuing education credits be reported to the IRS?

If you are a CPA, enrolled agent, or tax return preparer with a PTIN and would like to have your credits reported, you must provide your PTIN when you register online. After completing the course, your name, PTIN, and the number of credits you received will be reported to the IRS.

Please ensure that you use the same name on your short course registration form as you used to obtain your PTIN or you will not receive credit from the IRS.

How will I receive my certificate?

Your certificate will be emailed, so please ensure you register with your correct email address to receive it after the course.
