Learn how to become an Enrolled Agent with PassKey's comprehensive EA Review study program, newly revised and thoroughly updated for the current tax year. This study guide is designed for test-takers who will take their exams in the Prometric EA Exam testing window that runs from May 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024. This year's PassKey editions include coverage of the key tax legislation that was passed in 2022: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The bill includes dozens of expanded or extended tax credits and additional funding for the IRS. The SECURE Act 2.0 was signed into law on December 29, 2022, as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023. This bill added more than ninety new retirement plan provisions that affect individuals and businesses. Most of these provisions do not go into effect until 2023, but there are many provisions that are retroactive and affect the 2022 tax year. This is an in-depth study guide for Part 3 of the IRS Enrolled Agent exam. Using simple-to-understand language and numerous concrete examples, this study guide helps demystify complex tax law. This study guide covers ethics and the rules of practice for Enrolled Agents, including: professional standards and requirements; preparer and taxpayer penalties; assessment, collection, audit, and appeals procedures; the legal authority of the IRS; and e-filing requirements; and much more. This book has been extensively updated and rigorously vetted for accuracy by experts in the tax profession. For more study help, PassKey Publications also offers a three-part practice exam workbook with detailed answers and explanations, so you can test yourself, time yourself, and learn!
