Dear (Contact First Name),     

Welcome to the Platinum Pro Community! Now that tax season is over we would like to reward you with not just one promo but two .....

Offer valid for one day only, Sunday, May 22nd, 6pm to May 23rd 6pm, PST.  We are giving away twenty free courses for the first twenty lucky customers who use promo code  HURRY at checkout.  In addition, we will be offering 20 percent off any one of our courses! Use promo code DARN IT.  Please look below for all terms and conditions. 

Did you know we offer group discounts for three or more students when the order is placed at one time?  Once the initial order is placed with us you will have a specific promo code set up for you to use for up to one year.  Please note, if you already have a promo code set up and if it hasn't been used within the last year period, those have expired.  

We would like to also inform you starting June 1st, 2016 our IRS 18 hour continuing education course will be available for purchase as well as our IRS Tax Preparation Prep course including !8 hour of continuing education.  Remember, you must complete this course by December 31st, 2016 in order to participate in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP).  To participate in the program you must log into your PTIN holder account and request your record of completion.  

As a reminder also for California Tax Preparers who have just completed the 60 hour Qualifying course, if you are not going to prepare tax returns between now and October 31st it is best to register with CTEC on November 1st so that you do not have to take a CTEC 20 hour continuing education course for this year.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer!

10-Day Testing Window Extension

In order to accommodate the anticipated demand for test center seats, the testing window will be extended through the 10th of the third month of each testing window, beginning with the second quarter of 2016 (June 2016, September 2016, December 2016 and March 2017). During the anticipated launch window of the next version of the Exam (April-June 2017), the 10-day extension will be suspended.
Suspending the extension for the launch window will be necessary to allow time for the AICPA to properly calibrate the Exam for scoring. The 10-day extension will be reinstated for Q3 and Q4 of 2017. To schedule your Exam, please visit  prometric.com.
