IRS Initiates Reporting of Forensic Document Training

Just as there is a formal credit reporting process for IRS approved continuing education providers, so will there be for the IRS approved Forensic Document Training course providers.  The IRS has emailed approved CAA Forensic Document Training providers to initiate the certificate verification process.

The ITIN Policy Section tax analyst has requested an initial catch-up list of all Forensic Document Training course completions with respective completion dates and names from January 1, 2025 through August 30th, 2025.  Ongoing, credit reporting for our forensic document training, Fraudulent document recognition, will be done monthly.

Gentle reminder that the IRS has set a time limit on the validity of your forensic document training certificate at 120 days from the date on your certificate. As always, digital copies of the certificate are not accepted for your CAA application. The IRS wants you to submit  a scanned copy of your physical forensic document training certificate.
