Becoming An Enrolled Agent
To become an enrolled agent, an applicant must pass the Special Enrollment Examination, which covers many aspects of the Internal Revenue Code, or must have worked at the IRS for five years in a position which regularly interpreted and applied the tax code and its regulations. A background check, including a review of the applicant’s tax compliance, is conducted. The IRS requires enrolled agents to complete 72 hours of continuing professional education every three years.

Famous quotes containing the word agent:
“The childless experts on child raising also bring tears of laughter to my eyes when they say, “I love children because they’re so honest.” There is not an agent in the CIA or the KGB who knows how to conceal the theft of food, how to fake being asleep, or how to forge a parent’s signature like a child.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
