IRS: minimum 16 hours annually, 72 hours every 3 years. Current regulations require Enrolled Agents to complete 24 hours annually (calendar year) to meet 3 year IRS requirements.
Enrolled Agents are required to take 72 hours of continuing education during the 3-year enrollment cycle, and at least 16 hours for each respective year to maintain their EA license. These 16 hours must include at least 2 hours of enrolled agent ethics or professional conduct education. The continuing education requirements are pro-rated if enrollment occurs in the middle of an enrollment cycle, at a rate of 2 hours required education for each month or part of a month enrolled.
All continuing education programs are measured in terms of contact hours. A contact hour is 50 minutes of continuous participation in a program. The IRS only grants a tax enrolled agent credit for a full contact hour, i.e., 50 minutes or multiples thereof.
Qualifying tax CE programs must meet certain standards. A qualified sponsor must run all CPE programs. They must require attendance and must issue a certificate of attendance. The instructor's background, experience, education, and training should be appropriate for the subject matter. The course must provide a written outline, textbook, or suitable electronic educational materials. Self-study courses (including on-line, correspondence and taped program courses) do meet this standard if they require registration by the participant, provide a means of measuring completion such as a written test, provide a EA certification of successful completion of said test, and provide a written outline, textbook or acceptable electronic substitutes.
