An enrolled agent is a person who has earned the privilege of representing taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. Enrolled agents, like attorneys and certified public accountants (CPAs), are generally unrestricted as to which taxpayers they can represent, what types of tax matters they can handle, and which IRS offices they can represent clients before.

Follow these steps to become an EA:

1. Obtain a Preparer Tax Identification Number
2. Apply to take the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE)
3. Achieve passing scores on all 3 parts of the SEE
4. Apply for Enrollment
5. Pass a suitability check, which will include tax compliance to ensure that you have filed all necessary tax returns and there are no outstanding tax liabilities; and criminal background

Each part takes 3.5 hours and has 100 multiple-choice questions (MCQs). After each part of 50 MCQs, there is a 15-minute break. As soon as the test is over, results are posted online so that students can print them.

BCom, BBA, MCom, and MBA graduates who want to work closely with  US teams and clients and build a job in US taxation can take this  course.

PTIN stands for Preparer tax identification number. It can be applied at any time during the year, and it should be updated every year.

With the PTIN application, you have to submit a coloured copy of your passport that has been notarized. When it comes to notarization, keep in mind the following:

a) The colour picture of the passport must be clear

b) The copy for the front page and the copy for the back page must be on the same side of the colour copy.

c) The notary's stamp, signature, and seal must be legible
Only if the candidate has a valid PTIN can he or she apply for the Special Enrollment Examination (SEE).

The Special Enrollment Examination (SEE) is run by Prometric on behalf of the IRS.
Each part has 100 questions with multiple choices that must be answered in 3.5 hours. The test can be taken in any order, depending on how well the candidate has prepared. After candidates finish one part, they have three years to finish the other two parts.

Candidate can check the updates in the prometric website who monitor the EA examination.
