2026 Enrolled Agent 24-Hour Continuing Education Bundle

Get comprehensive tax education built around the questions your clients bring you. This 24-hour self-study bundle combines federal tax updates, ethics, and detailed instruction on home sales, mortgage interest, and frequently encountered tax issues.

Build a deeper understanding of the rules and how they apply to real client situations, with downloadable materials you can study on your schedule.

24 CE hours · Includes 2 ethics hours · Five included courses · Online self-study

Designed for practicing enrolled agents completing their continuing education.

24 Hours Toward Your Enrolled Agent CE Requirements

Complete federal tax education and ethics in one coordinated package.

Enrolled agents generally need 72 hours of qualifying continuing education during each three-year enrollment cycle, with at least 16 hours each year, including 2 hours of ethics.

Completing 24 hours annually is a straightforward way to spread the 72-hour requirement across the cycle. This bundle provides those 24 hours, including the annual ethics component.

Review your completed credits and remaining requirements to determine whether you need additional education. Newly enrolled agents may have different requirements for their initial partial cycle.

Complete your courses by December 31, 2026, to receive 2026 CE credit.

Continuing education, annual PTIN renewal, and enrolled agent enrollment renewal are separate requirements. Completing this bundle does not automatically renew your credentials.

Education That Helps You Handle the Next Client Question

A home sale may involve prior rental use. A refinance may require tracing how borrowed money was spent. A divorce or death may change how a return should be handled.

These situations require careful analysis and a clear understanding of the applicable rules.
