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 most durable thing in writing is style, and style is the most valuable investment a writer can make with his time. It pays off slowly, your agent will sneer at it, your publisher will misunderstand it, and it will take people you have never heard of to convince them by slow degrees that the writer who puts his individual mark on the way he writes will always pay off.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
