IRS CE vs. Non-IRS CE

There are two types of CE.

  • IRS CE - can be used to satisfy IRS CE Requirements as well as NAEA CE Requirements.

    • Some programs may qualify for IRS CE but unless the attendee has a designation that is accepted by the IRS (RTRP*, EA, ERPA) CE can't be reported to the IRS. 

  • Non-IRS CE - can't be used to satisfy IRS CE Requirements but can be used to satisfy NAEA Requirements.

  • *Please check with the IRS for the most recent update on the RTRP designation.
