With the new IRS regulations coming, the majority of the e-mails I receive are about the EA Exam, and which study materials are the best for the exam.

Our study guide, PassKey EA Review Complete: Individuals, Businesses and Representation , published by PassKey Publications, was co-authored by me and author Kevin M Young, who is an enrolled agent and financial advisor. Kevin has an MBA from California Lutheran University.

So of course I'm biased! I want candidates to purchase our program. But the reality is that there are lots of great EA exam review programs out there and I encourage EA candidates to research and try a few before they make the leap and purchase a program. Most programs will allow you to download a sample for free. You can see a sample download of our book on the PassKey Publications website.  

It helps if you have a few years of tax experience, but in the end, you really have to do the study time and the research. And, once again, the EA exam is offered all throughout the year by Prometric, and will be based on 2009 tax law, if you take it between the current testing window, which is May 1st, 2010 and Feb 28, 2011.

Good luck!

This week, the popular column Dear Abby discusses Enrolled Agents.

You can see the full article here.

It's  always nice to see enrolled agents mentioned favorably in the news and print magazines. The IRS has done a poor job explaining the value of the EA designation, and I appreciate that Dear Abby attempts to explain what we do to the general public.
