Idaho CPA License Renewal Deadline 2027
Idaho CPA license renewal
Idaho is mid-transition (announced May 2026) from annual to biennial renewal, staggered by birth-year parity: odd-birth-year CPAs' licenses expire June 30, 2027; even-birth-year expire June 30, 2028 -- per the Idaho Board's own current guidance (DOPL press release, dated 2026-04-20). The in-force administrative rule implementing this (IDAPA 24.30.01 Section 108) still literally states annual June 30 renewal. An amendment was adopted as a pending rule (Idaho Administrative Bulletin Vol. 26-11, Nov 4, 2026) but goes into effect only if the 2027 Idaho Legislature approves it. Idaho Code 54-211 confirms the underlying statute has already moved to a genuinely biennial cycle, so this parity relationship is expected to continue beyond the transition, not just describe it -- but the specific dates above come from the Board's operational guidance, not yet from the codified rule text itself.

A CPA regulatory/statutory change for Idaho has a target effective date of January 1, 2028. The agency has adopted it as a pending rule, but it is not final: it goes into effect only if the legislature approves it. Idaho's Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses adopted Docket No. 24-3001-2601 (IDAPA 24.30.01) as a pending rule, published in the Nov 4, 2026 Idaho Administrative Bulletin, Vol. 26-11. It is not final: it goes into effect only if the 2027 Idaho Legislature approves it by concurrent resolution, and if approved it becomes final and effective July 1 of the year of that session, unless the resolution states a different date. The pending text provides that, beginning January 1, 2028, licenses expire at midnight on the licensee's legal birthday during the second year of a two-year term instead of every June 30 (Rule 108.01); a late renewal is one made no more than 30 days after expiration, replacing the July 1 to August 1 window (Rule 108.03); firms file a registration biennially instead of annually, still no later than September 30 (Rule 211.01); and biennial fee amounts are added, including $240 for an active license (Rule 400). The current rules stay in force unless and until it is approved. See IDAPA 24.30.01, Docket No. 24-3001-2601: Notice of Rulemaking, Adoption of Pending Rule, Idaho Administrative Bulletin, Nov 4 2026, Vol 26-11, pp. 35-40 (proposed rule: Aug 5 2026, Vol 26-8, pp. 31-33); effective date of an approved pending rule: Idaho Code § 67-5291(6).

Renewal fee: $120. Flat $120 annual 'Active License' fee for individual CPAs/LPAs, per the fee table in IDAPA 24.30.01, Section 400 (Fees) -- late renewal adds $100 under Section 400.03. Idaho is transitioning to biennial licensure effective May 1, 2026, at which point the same individual rate becomes $240 for a 2-year period -- no underlying price change, just a longer billing cycle. Firm registration is a separate, distinct fee in the same Section 400 table: $20 per firm plus $5 per licensee (capped at $200 total) annually, rising to $40 per firm plus $10 per licensee (capped at $400 total) once the biennial cycle takes effect -- this is the fee tied to the annual Sept. 30 firm-registration filing under IDAPA 24.30.01 § 211.01. Non-compliance with firm registration adds a separate $100-per-licensee penalty. read the rule →

How much does it cost to renew a CPA license in Idaho?
$120. Flat $120 annual 'Active License' fee for individual CPAs/LPAs, per the fee table in IDAPA 24.30.01, Section 400 (Fees) -- late renewal adds $100 under Section 400.03. Idaho is transitioning to biennial licensure effective May 1, 2026, at which point the same individual rate becomes $240 for a 2-year period -- no underlying price change, just a longer billing cycle. Firm registration is a separate, distinct fee in the same Section 400 table: $20 per firm plus $5 per licensee (capped at $200 total) annually, rising to $40 per firm plus $10 per licensee (capped at $400 total) once the biennial cycle takes effect -- this is the fee tied to the annual Sept. 30 firm-registration filing under IDAPA 24.30.01 § 211.01. Non-compliance with firm registration adds a separate $100-per-licensee penalty.
Does Idaho require CPE hours to renew a CPA license?
Yes, with conditions. Idaho requires 80 hours of CPE every 2 years. That includes 4 ethics hours. New and reciprocal licensees instead complete a 2-hour Idaho-specific ethics course in their first calendar year, then a 30-hour minimum in year two. Confirm with the Board which applies to you. See the full Idaho CPE requirements page for the exact citation.
What does it cost to reinstate a lapsed Idaho CPA license?
$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.
Does a CPA firm need to register separately in Idaho?
Yes, Idaho has its own firm-level registration or permit requirement, separate from an individual CPA's license renewal. See the full Idaho firm renewal page for the exact cycle and citation.
