Find NAEA-approved EA continuing education live webinars, seminars, OnDemand and online training
As an enrolled agent, your primary responsibility is to represent your clients as diligently as possible. It's for this reason that the National Association of Enrolled Agents requires all their members holding EA certification to complete 30 hours of approved continuing education every calendar year. This exceeds IRS requirements and ensures NAEA members continue to uphold the highest standards of professionalism in everything they do.
Becoming EA Certified
Most enrolled agents come to the profession having previously trained as a CPA, tax accountant or IRS agent. However, there is no prerequisite to sit for the NAEA EA exam. The test itself consists of around 100 questions covering three core areas:
- Personal tax law
- Business tax law
- Representation, practices and procedures
After passing the exam, you are required to commit to ongoing professional development by taking continuing education classes. Of the 30 credits required each year, 2.0 must be in a topic related to ethics in order to fulfill IRS requirements.
