How to Register for the EA Exam
To register for the EA exam, start with your PTIN. The IRS requires paid federal tax return preparers to have a Preparer Tax Identification Number, and SEE candidates need one before scheduling an exam appointment.
Register for the SEE
After your PTIN is ready, apply to take the Special Enrollment Examination through PSI. Use the Candidate Information Bulletin, sample questions, and IRS guidance to understand the exam rules before choosing a date.
After You Pass
Once you pass all three SEE parts, apply for enrollment using Form 23 through Pay.gov. The IRS will then review your application, including tax compliance and criminal background suitability checks.
Keep It Simple
Think of the process as four steps: get your PTIN, pass the three exam parts, submit Form 23, and clear the suitability check. Work through one step at a time and the path feels much less intimidating.
