TUITION ASSISTANCE

FAQs

If you can’t find answers to your questions, feel free to contact us.

LaunchEA: You must be at least 18 years old by the training start date.

ImpactEA: Must be an active Enrolled Agent in good standing.

ApprentEA: Must be an active Enrolled Agent in good standing and sponsored by an Employer Partner.

No. Enrolled Agents are federally licensed tax professionals governed by the Dept. of Treasury, who does not require a college degree to earn your Enrolled Agent license. However, you are required to pass an exam that is based 100% in tax law or work in a certain capacity within the IRS for at least 5 years.

Currently, there are no college degree programs that focus on preparing students for Enrolled Agent careers.

Using the power of the internet and for the convenience of our students, all training is held 100% online.

We are currently working with 2 and 4-year institutions regarding transfer credit agreements. As we solidify relationships with school partners, we will keep you updated.

In the meantime, let us know if you have a school that you’d like to recognize our curriculum for credit toward your degree, and we will work with all parties to provide the necessary paperwork to assist.

This is a 2-part answer:

  1. Although this is a self-pace program, it is designed to be completed within 12 months.
  2. The estimated time commitment to ensure you can successfully complete the training, engage with the community, and pass the EA exam, is at least 15 hours per week.

Many students will find that they can maintain a full-time job while completing this training.

Good question! The short answer is no.

Internships usually last about 1-3 months, are typically a more informal job experience that may be paid or unpaid, and do not require a structured learning plan. 

Apprenticeships are guided by the rules of the Dept. of Labor and are designed to ensure measurable professional growth within a specified timeframe. 

Apprenticeships require 3 components:

  1. Education
  2. Sponsorship – administration of the program
  3. Employment

Through the academy, we provide education and sponsorship, as well as access to employer partners who will provide employment.

Apprenticeships typically last 1-3 years, and all apprentices are paid at a minimum rate set by the Sponsor (which is us in this case), with scheduled pay raises based on training accomplishments.  

We are proud to announce that ApprentEA is the first-ever registered tax consultant apprenticeship program in the U.S.!

Neither is better or worse, they are both great designations that can provide a lucrative career path and they complement each other very well. 

The better question is, “Which is better for YOU?”

The Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation is a state-based certification primarily focused on financial accounting and it specifically allows you to audit financial statements. Contrary to popular belief, IRS records show that less than 30% of CPAs provide tax services. 

So, if you’d like a career focused on financial accounting and auditing, the CPA is the way to go!

The Enrolled Agent (EA) designation is the highest credential the federal government bestows on tax professionals.  The IRS recognizes EAs as “elite” tax professionals. EAs are the only professionals who are required to demonstrate and maintain their competency in tax law, therefore, 100% of active EAs specialize in tax law.

Well trained EAs are more than simply “data entry tax preparers.” Well versed in tax law, personal financial management, entrepreneurship, and accounting principles, they are trusted taxpayer advocates and advisors to families and business owners nationwide.

Enrolled Agents have the same rights with the IRS as CPAs and Attorneys – without being required to spend the time and money associated with traditional college education.  EAs can even take their career further and practice in the U.S. Tax Court as a non-attorney representative after passing a special exam.

So, if you’d like a career in tax law and consulting, the EA designation is the way to go!

Good question!

Our Level 1 training, LaunchEA is a 12-month apprenticeship readiness and career training program for non-Enrolled Agent who are looking to explore or start a career in tax law and consulting. This is also for those who may have experience in tax but would like support and more training as they navigate the Enrolled Agent exam.

Our Level 2 training, ImpactEA is a 12-month career training program that takes students deeper into tax resolution, tax litigation support, and business coaching for active Enrolled Agents in good standing.

ApprentEA is a 24-month apprenticeship program, for active Enrolled Agents, that blends our ImpactEA program with paid on-the-job training with our Employer Partners. 

If you are not currently an Enrolled Agent, you will be required to take and pass the Special Enrollment Exam (SEE) aka Enrolled Agent exam as a condition of completing LaunchEA and being eligible to participate in ImpactEA or ApprentEA.

For the purposes of our program, you must be:

  • 18 or older
  • Have a PTIN (we will walk you through this process)
  • Pass the rigorous 3 part Special Enrollment Exam (aka Enrolled Agent exam)*
  • Apply for Enrollment to practice before the IRS
  • Pass a suitability check, which includes a background and tax compliance review. 

*The 3-part exam covers: Individual Taxation, Business Taxation, and Representation + Procedure. This exam is held at a third-party testing facility and is administered by the IRS.

Yes! 

Eligible students will have the option to participate in our career expos, so you can meet and build relationships with our Employer Partners.

Once you are employed by one of our Employer Partners.

Generally speaking, your investment in this training can be a fully tax deductible expense (to you or your employer), assuming you meet certain qualifications, which further increases the value of this training over traditional college programs. 

However, this deductibility will largely depend on your specific circumstances, which you will want to discuss with your tax advisor.

Yes! We have the following two refund deadlines:

3-day withdrawal: Refunds, less any payment processing fees, are granted when withdrawing within 3 days after enrollment.

14-day withdrawal:  Refunds, less any payment processing fees plus an administrative fee equal to 25% of the total tuition, are granted when withdrawing from the program within the 14-days after the term start date.

If you don’t plan on starting this training right away but want to sign up, we’d love to have you, but make sure you register when you can dedicate the time needed to complete it.

Our complete refund policy is clearly communicated in our Terms for your review prior to completing registration.

Please DO NOT enroll in training if you just want to “check it out.” We put an extraordinary amount of time and effort into this, and we expect you to do the same. This training is for serious professionals only.

ANISHA BAILEY, EA, MSEL

FOUNDER + CEO

Inspired by the concept of “create what you wish existed,” and after more than 15 years of building Taxley, the consulting firm, I knew it was time to expand and support taxpayer advocacy through workforce development.

TRUTH IS: Business, finance, and accounting degree programs are not designed to prepare students for tax careers.

Therefore, we leverage years of experience and the time-tested apprenticeship model to fill the critical education gap that has plagued the tax industry for decades.

We aim to make the prestigious Enrolled Agent career path well known and more accessible to aspiring professionals, so you can have an incredible impact on the trajectory of financial literacy, successful entrepreneurship, sustainable legacy building.
