Does the statute allow CTEC to approve work experience in lieu of qualifying education?
CTEC is authorized to consider “a minimum of two recent years experience in the preparation of personal income tax returns” to determine if an individual has achieved “the equivalent of the required qualifying education”. Those who prepared taxes in violation of the statute may not use such time to qualify for this exception. Call CTEC to receive an Experience In Lieu of Education Application. The above means that anyone who has had a CPA, EA, or Attorney License for the last two years; anyone who was employed by one of those three for the last two years; or anyone moving to CA from out of state with two years experience, may apply to receive an exemption from taking the full 60-hr qualifying course.You may only use this application (which must be requested by e-mail at info@ctec.org, or by calling 1-877-850-2832) if you fit into one of the above three categories. Please do not try to use this application if you do not qualify.
