Frequently asked questions

How does Pennsylvania's CPA license renewal cycle work?

CPA license expires December 31 of odd-numbered years -- confirmed by both the CPA Law statute itself (63 P.S. § 9.8b: 'Licenses to practice shall expire on the last day of December of odd-numbered years...') and the Board's own renewal-information page. Current cycle ends 2027-12-31.

How much does it cost to renew a CPA license in Pennsylvania?

Does Pennsylvania require CPE hours to renew a CPA license?

Yes, Pennsylvania requires 80 hours of CPE every 2 years. That includes 4 ethics hours. See the full Pennsylvania CPE requirements page for the exact citation.

What does it cost to reinstate a lapsed Pennsylvania CPA license?

$35. Pennsylvania's fee schedule lists a $35 reinstatement fee for an inactive or expired license, on top of the $100 biennial renewal fee itself (both individually codified at 49 Pa. Code § 11.4) -- budget $135 total plus CPE course costs. The rule text states the two figures separately; it does not itself say they're paid together, so treat $135 as a budgeting estimate rather than a codified total.
