Membership Renewal is Even Easier
Now it's even easier to renew your TSCPA membership. After April 15, TSCPA will send you an e-mail message with a link to a secure online dues renewal system. You can renew your membership, update your records, print a receipt, or if you prefer, print a statement to be mailed or faxed in with your payment. Watch your e-mail for more details.

Paper invoices will be mailed to members who have not provided an e-mail address or have asked to receive their dues statement by mail. To see whether we have yours on file, go to the My Membership area of the TSCPA Web site (tscpa.org), select Update My Records from the drop-down menu and log in.
