24 Hours Toward Your Enrolled Agent CE Requirements

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 spreads the 72-hour requirement evenly across the cycle. This bundle provides 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. 

Practical Tax Education You Can Work Through on Paper

Your clients’ questions require an understanding of the details.

A home sale may involve prior rental use. A refinance may require tracing how borrowed money was spent. A divorce or death may change the tax treatment of income, property, or filing decisions.

Alongside federal updates and ethics, this bundle provides 19 hours of focused federal tax instruction. Dedicated courses help you work through complicated situations and connect technical rules with client circumstances.

Focused coverage
Explore challenging issues in dedicated courses rather than relying on a general overview.

A format you can annotate
Highlight explanations and keep your own notes alongside the material as you study.

Flexible self-study
Read at your own pace and complete the exams online when you are ready.
