Who qualifies for an Inactive CPA license status?
• Anyone not practicing public accounting qualifies to hold an Inactive CPA license. If you work in industry and do not perform accounting services for the public this license status releases you from the CPE reporting requirement. However, the license is still valid and you are still required to renew the license prior to its expiration date. Although prohibited from performing public accounting services, you may use your CPA designation on letterhead, business cards, resumes, etc., as long as it is accompanied by the word “Inactive”.
