Idaho CPA License Reinstatement: What a Lapsed License Costs

If your Idaho CPA license has already lapsed

What it actually takes to get a lapsed Idaho CPA license back — the fee, the catch-up CPE, and exactly what triggers "lapsed" in the first place. Sourced the same way every fact on this site is: a board page, plus the codified rule itself where we could confirm it against primary law, clearly labelled where we could only confirm it against the board's own page, never a guess.

Reinstatement Fee
$360

IDAPA 24.30.01.400 sets the reinstatement fee as the sum of unpaid license fees for the preceding 3 cycles -- $360 is the representative case (3 x $120 active annual fee), varying with how many cycles were missed. Idaho Code §54-212(6) caps the total at $500.

Catch-Up CPE Required
  • 80 CPE hours IDAPA 24.30.01.117: 80 hours of CPE completed within the 12 months immediately before applying for reinstatement -- the same 80-hour total as normal renewal, just compressed from a 2-year cycle into a single 12-month lookback window.
  • 4 ethics hours, within that total.
Source of record IDAPA 24.30.01.117 (Reinstatement and Re-entry); 24.30.01.108 (Annual Renewal and Late Fee); 24.30.01.400 (Fees) -- current post-2023-renumbering read the rule →

What triggers lapsed status: Licenses expire June 30 each year. Renewing after July 1 but before August 1 only requires a $100 late fee; if still unrenewed by August 1, the license is deemed lapsed and subject to reinstatement, and the holder may not use the CPA title or perform reserved services.

Always confirm with the official state board before relying on this date. License requirements and deadlines can change.
