Enrolled Agent (EA)

The EA Exam, officially known as the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE), is a three-part exam administered by Prometric on behalf of the Internal Revenue Service. Each part is taken as a separate 100 question exam, and you will have 3.5 hours to answer all questions for that part. The IRS Special Enrollment Exam (SEE) is the easiest of the exams that give you unlimited representation rights to practice before the IRS.
The other two are the CPA exam and the Bar exam, both of which have significant educational requirements which must be met before you can sit for the test. That does not mean the EA exam is easy. An enrolled agent, to be considered a tax expert, must “demonstrate special competence in tax matters” by passing three separate exams to become an enrolled agent. Difficulty depends on experience, but the credential is attainable for those willing to put in the effort.

Eligibility

There's no prior qualification required if you wish to pursue EA. A graduate with basic accounting knowledge can apply for the same, but the applicant must prove his/her competency for the tax-pertaining content. This can happen in two ways:

Clear the Special Enrollment Exam (EA Exam):

To pursue the dream of becoming an EA, a candidate must obtain PTIN passing scores on all three parts of the Special Enrollment Examination (Individuals, Businesses and Representation, Practices, and Procedures), which unfolds a significant area of Internal Revenue Code. There' s no definite pattern. There is no definite order to attempt the exam. The candidate has the liberty to take any section as first. The only necessity is to clear all the three sections to earn the EA certification.

IRS Experience

Candidates must have worked at the IRS for five consecutive years in a position that regularly engages in applying and interpreting the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations relating to income, estate, gift, employment, or excise taxes.

Kind of questions are on the EA exam

Despite popular opinion, the EA exam will never ask you to fill out a tax form. Instead, you will put your mastery of tax law to the test as you apply it to a variety of circumstances.
There are three types of multiple-choice questions on the exam:
- Direct Questions
- Incomplete Sentences
- All of the Following Except
