I was curious about the process and the cost of transferring a CPA certificate / license between states. So I checked out the process of moving my certificate from MN to TN. I'm an academic and I don't perform services as a CPA, but I keep my license current.
State of TN Interstate Exchange form $100
- MN Authorization Form for certifying exam and licensing
- College and university transcripts
- CPA Certificate Application to Tennessee with $100 for first year license
- Experience certification required
Comparison of MN and TN
| MN | TN | |
|---|---|---|
| Annual license renewal | $45 (but 10% surcharge starting in 2010) | $120 (every 2 years) |
| CPE Required | 120 hours every 3 years. 6/30 year-end reporting | 80 hours every 2 years. 12/31 reporting. |
| Ethics specific CPE | 8 hours every 3 years | 4 hours every 2 years, 1 of which is TN specific |
| Professional Privilege Tax | $0 | $400 |
