Susan,
Updating your volunteer years is in Link&Learn. Log into your IRS account at https://www.linklearncertification.com/d/This takes you to where you take the tests but before that at the top of the page on the left there is a tab that says “My Account”
Click on that. At the bottom of all the info about you is: * Years You Have Volunteered:.
Jane – It is good that you got this all figured out. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
Hi Kapilan,
Thanks for the additional research! Sounds like you’ve got it sorted out, but feel free to update this post if you’re still confused or having trouble with anything. Good luck with the tests! 🙂

There is a spot to place a PTIN, Practitioner Tax Identification Number. It is not a mandatory entry and can be skipped. If you do have a PTIN, you can enter the number So you can obtain some CPE for participation in this program.
Sorry Deb, I guess I wasn’t awake yet when I replied earlier. The link I sent you is for the corrections or additional info Ruth sent out–the problems themselves are all in the NTTC workbook.

Hi Deb, thanks for signing up to be an assistant! The proficiency problems are in the instructor shared files. For some reason I just went there and I only see Brent–at this location:

I am teaching a class this morning with Woody and I will see if I can find out what happened to the others! I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

Students are not able to cancel the classes themselves, but I’m happy to do that for you. Please send me an email and let me know which class it is and I can cancel it for you. We appreciate you letting us know so your spot can be opened up for another student!

Hi Sara,
Thank you for reaching out! You are heading in the right direction and we are going to go in depth on all of this at the Orientation. You can find the classes on the learning map. The two classes where attendance is required past the Orientation is Introduction to Tax Law and Prep AND Oregon Tax Law and Finishing the Return.
The other classes attendance are not required – you can do the studying at home with the links associated in the learning map. We encourage folks to go to these classes as its helps solidify the concepts.
The test is all online and is open book. You can do it at home or even attend a Problem and Test Lab for additional assistance. This is directly linked in the Learning map as well. Note – As of now the 2019 test is not ready. We anticipate this will be live very soon.
You do not need to do anything more with AARP after you register. CASH houses all of the class infrastructure so you will be working within this system primarily.
Let us know if you have any other questions!Thank you,

Moderator Woody here. Great questions and thanks for your enthusiasm. Here are the answers. If you are a new volunteer to this program, you do have to attend orientation.You can sign up for an orientation session on this website after you first log in by clicking the green button in the upper right of the screen. That feature is not active yet but you will be able to sign up by October 15. Orientations start on November 1st and most are held on Fridays and weekends. Orientations are your best opportunity to learn the best way for you to become a certified volunteer in this program: what tests you must take, how to prepare for them, and how to prepare to be a good volunteer tax preparer. Thanks again..
