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:
“... in doing our psychology, we want to attribute mental states fully opaquely because it’s the fully opaque reading which tells us what the agent has in mind, and it’s what the agent has in mind that causes his behavior.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
